The multi-sensor measurement system. A Overview of the multi-sensor measurement system. B Close-up view of the stainless steel blocks that simulated the position of the central incisors, canines, and first molars aligned to the dental arch form of normal occlusion. Brackets were placed at the center of the facial surface of each tooth. The orthodontic force in the facial-lingual direction was measured along the perpendicular axis of the center of the bracket slots. When the detected orthodontic force was delivered in the facial direction, a positive value was recorded
