摘要:Archwire bending is conducted by orthodontist in orthodontic treatment. However, this procedure is boring and time-consuming. In order to reduce the dependence on human technology in archwire bending forming, decrease the labor intensity of dentists and technicians, and improve the degree of automation of the orthodontic process. This paper proposes to use robots to replace dentists for completing orthodontic wires bending. Quantitative model of orthodontic wires with canine eminace is established based on Power function model. On the basis of bending process analysis of orthodontic wires, the overall structure, bend die and archwire supporting part of archwire bending robot for orthodontic treatment is designed.
