Smart orthodontic bracket

An orthodontic bracket system for monitoring variable factors of orthodontic bracket comprising of:

• an orthodontic bracket assembly comprising of:
• a plurality of orthodontic bracket for holding teeth, said orthodontic bracket comprising a base glued to the teeth, a plurality of tie wings, and at least one arch wire interconnecting the plurality of orthodontic bracket;
• at least one RFID tag;
• and
• at least one 3D piezoelectric sensor;
• a removable pulse oximeter;
• a laser scanner;
• a photo spectrometer;
• a central processing system comprising of a central processor and a visual display unit;
• wherein,
• variable factors of orthodontic bracket include but not limited to position, pulp vitality, corrosion characteristics of the orthodontic bracket assembly, change in mechanical force on teeth;
• said at least one 3D piezoelectric sensor is placed at the base of the orthodontic bracket, said at least one 3D piezoelectric sensor senses change in mechanical force exerted by the orthodontic bracket on teeth and produces a charge;
• said at least one RFID tag is placed at the tie-wing of the orthodontic bracket to receive the charge produced by said 3D piezoelectric sensor and convert it into a machine readable data;
• said removable pulse oximeter is attached to periphery of said orthodontic bracket for determining the pulp vitality;
• said photo spectrometer determines the corrosion characteristics of said arch wires of said orthodontic bracket assembly;
• said laser scanner scans the teeth at a height to determine the position of teeth;
• and
• said variable factors of orthodontic bracket are communicated to the central processing system to give an indication for clinical recycling to a clinician.
