Abstract: A microcapsule for use in the treatment of dental malocclusions/misalignments based on plastic splints or aligners. The microcapsule is a few μm, such as 0.5 μm to 200 μm in size and has a shell made of plastic or glass or ceramic, the shell is filled with a liquid in the interior, and the shell breaks open when it experiences a force and releases the liquid, which can be detected optically, for example, by a color change or illumination with UV light.

Abstract: An aligner for use in the treatment of malocclusions/misalignments by using force measurement of the aligner on the teeth. The aligner has at least two referencing features located on it in the initial state. The referencing features are of such a size, about or at least 10 micrometers, that they can be accurately detected by a camera or other means. The referencing features are of an optical or topographic kind.
