title: [A new method for the quantitative and qualitative measurement of tooth movements].
abstract: A new method for the in vivo measurement of the movements of teeth is described. Measuring blocks are attached to brackets and tubes. Calibrated holes are drilled in each side of the blocks. Using an electronic sliding caliper, measurements are made in all three dimensions between moving teeth and blocks of anchored segments. With the aid of a computer programme, these measurements can be used to construct pictures of various teeth. By taking measurements at different stages of treatment, the movements of the teeth can be shown in three-dimensional images.
