Abstract

Orthodontic treatment is accomplished by attaching an archwire to a bracket on tooth. The shape of the archwire is usually planned from 3-D scanned data of patient's teeth. It is manufactured by bending a metal wire and there have been some researches in progress to automate it. In this paper, we propose a method to obtain the bending angle at the bending point from the shape data of the archwire and verify it by simulation using actual archwire data.
