System and method for management and distribution of invisible dental braces containing pressure-sensitive sensors

A method for management and distribution of invisible dental brace containing pressure-sensitive sensors comprising the steps of:

• providing an invisible dental brace by a manufacturing and distribution facility to a dentist, wherein at least one pressure-sensitive sensor and a chip are fixedly secured onto the invisible dental brace, wherein said at least one pressure-sensitive sensor is configured to generate a sensor signal related to wearing time of the invisible dental brace and a pressure applied by teeth of an orthodontic patient, wherein an identification number regarding the invisible dental brace is written into the chip;
• writing additional information, including the name of the orthodontic patient wearing the invisible dental brace and an initial time of wearing, into the chip by a read-write device provided by the manufacturing and distribution facility to the dentist;
• applying the invisible dental brace to the teeth of the orthodontic patient by the dentist;
• writing further information into the chip by the read-write device, including special conditions that occur during applying the invisible dental brace to the teeth of the orthodontic patient;
• transmitting of a data, including the sensor signal, identification number, additional information, and further information through wire or a wireless communication technology to a remote device during the usage of the invisible dental brace by the patient;
• and
• processing the data by a specifically designed software or application program of the remote device for the dentist to modify the prescribed plan of orthodontic treatment in a real-time manner based on the data, and based on a modified prescribed plan of orthodontic treatment, an order of a new invisible dental brace is delivered to the manufacturing and distribution facility to initiate a manufacture of the new invisible dental brace.
