Orthodontic system with tooth movement and position measuring, monitoring, and control

An electronic control console for controlling the operation of at least one orthodontic appliance which moves and aligns at least one tooth of at least one jaw of a patient, the electronic control console comprising:

• a fluid pump which causes a force exerting member of the at least one orthodontic appliance to apply a force on the at least one tooth, the force exerting member comprising at least one inflatable element that is inflatable with a fluid which causes the at least one inflatable element to apply and maintain the force applied to the at least one tooth;
• a fluid sensor arrangement, a solenoid valve, a controller, and a communication interface, the fluid sensor arrangement including a fluid pressure sensor, a fluid flow sensor, and fluid volume sensor, the fluid pressure sensor detects a fluid pressure of the fluid pump, the fluid flow sensor measures a fluid flow rate of the fluid pump, and the fluid volume sensor measures a fluid volume of the fluid pump;
• wherein the communication interface interfaces with a tooth movement monitor to receive tooth movement data obtained from a force sensor attached to or partially embedded in the interior surface of a facial, lingual, or base wall, or a combination thereof of the mouthpiece, such that the force sensor is adapted to contact a side of the at least one tooth, which is opposite a side of the tooth adapted to be in contact with the force exerting member;
• wherein the fluid pressure, flow, and volume measurements are used by the controller in conjunction with the tooth movement data to control the operation of the force exerting member.
