Background

The accurate insertion of brackets is critical to orthodontic treatment success and is a difficult technique facilitated by a variety of direct and indirect procedures, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages in terms of treatment accuracy and time. This study introduces a novel semiautomatic technique intended to improve bracket placement precision and potentially shorten the treatment time for patients.

Results

The conceptualization and design of this mechanism were meticulously executed via SolidWorks, a widely acclaimed computer-aided design software, ensuring that each component of the assembly demonstrated flawless virtual functionality. The exploration then advanced to the formulation of equations, establishing a clear correlation between the mechanical moment and the design’s constants and dimensions. To visualize these theoretical connections, a custom MATLAB program was developed, generating detailed graphs and models. A simulation phase was subsequently undertaken to assess how the crucial parts of the mechanism withstand stress, deformation, and strain in real-world operational scenarios.

Conclusions

In the developmental stage, a semiautomated device with exceptional precision that is capable of simultaneously placing multiple orthodontic brackets was employed. A pivotal asset unveiled during this phase was the MATLAB application; it streamlined the generation of meshes and graphs, simplifying the experimentation with various parameter modifications. The simulation results confirmed the mechanism’s ability to manage stress efficiently, which aligns closely with the theoretical predictions. This study underscores the potential for achieving precise and effective orthodontic treatments through the integration of computer-aided design and MATLAB technologies.
