Abstract

Orthopaedic appliances are designed to transfer forces to facial skeleton as directly as possible. These appliances effectively influence bone growth and sutural changes which when given in growing age favourably alters the continuing facial growth pattern. The primary objective is to correct the skeletal imbalance; correction of the malocclusion is relatively secondary in importance. Yet the success of orthodontics mainly depends on the retention which aims to stabilize the treatment in optimal aesthetic and functional positions. The aim of the present writing is to review the usage of micro sensors in the orthopaedic appliances in order to monitor their wear and thus finds a way to stabilize treatment results.
