DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project will develop a series of new orthodontic appliances using a patented technology. Using the appliances, clinicians will be able to quantify and manipulate the orthodontic force systems, which are not feasible at present. The ability to control the force system is essential for the advancement of orthodontical treatment. It enables the orthodontic community to optimize the appliance design and better understand orthodontic tooth movement because tooth moves in response to the orthodontic force system. Phase I of this project includes refining of the novel technology, evaluating existing appliances, establishing design parameters, and developing manufacturing process and capability for the new series of orthodontic appliances. Phase II of the project will design a series of optimal orthodontic appliances based on the clinical force requirements for three types of typical clinical cases. The products will be critically validated clinically for demonstrating their advantages. In the Phase III, the new products will be commercialized to benefit the orthodontics profession. The potential beneficiaries of the project are orthodontists in private practice, manufacturers who develop orthodontic appliances, graduate orthodontics programs that train orthodontists and researchers who study tooth movement and underlying mechanisms.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟建项目将采用一项专利技术开发一系列新的正畸矫治器。使用这些器具，临床医生将能够量化和操纵正畸力系统，这在目前是不可行的。控制力系统的能力对于正畸治疗的进步至关重要。它使正畸社区能够优化器具设计并更好地了解正畸牙齿的运动，因为牙齿会响应正畸力系统而运动。该项目的第一阶段包括改进新技术，评估现有矫治器，建立设计参数，开发新系列正畸矫治器的制造工艺和能力。项目二期将针对三种典型临床病例，根据临床受力要求设计一系列最优的正畸矫治器。这些产品将经过临床验证，以证明其优势。在第三阶段，新产品将商业化，使正畸专业受益。该项目的潜在受益者是私人执业的正畸医生、开发正畸器具的制造商、培训正畸医生的研究生正畸项目以及研究牙齿运动和潜在机制的研究人员。
