Application of three-dimensional digital modeling of teeth and jaws in orthodontics teaching

Abstract

Orthodontics involves anatomy and physiology, growth and development, biomechanics, mechanical mechanics and other aspects, so it is difficult to learn and master such a large and complex theoretical knowledge. With the rapid development of digital technology, the three-dimensional digital model of teeth and jaws is more widely used. It can present the anatomical structure in three dimensions, and then combine with three-dimensional finite element method to simulate the force characteristics and movement mode of teeth. It is of great benefit for students to quickly and deeply understand the anatomical structure and orthodontic biomechanics. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of digital model in orthodontics teaching by constructing three-dimensional digital model of teeth and jaw and three-dimensional finite element analysis.
