Orthodontic force-measuring device using a typodont and a load cell

An orthodontic force measuring device comprising:

• a T-shaped rail frame comprising first and second rail frames;
• a tooth unit comprising a support positioned on the first rail frame and a typodont positioned over the support;
• an orthodontic force application unit positioned over the second rail frame and comprising a digital push-pull gauge and a support module;
• an orthodontic force sensing unit connected to an end of the digital push-pull gauge and comprising a first coupling, a load cell, and a second coupling, which are positioned on a coaxial line;
• and
• an orthodontic force application wire connecting the typodont and the first coupling,
• wherein the typodont is positioned over the support which is moved over the first rail frame, and
• the digital push-pull gauge measures an orthodontic force applied to the orthodontic force application wire connected to the typodont.
