Abstract

The paper presents the new alternative orthodontic bracket Gold-S. The current applied force of wire on the compliant mechanism and thus its stiffness, will be determined and decreased. Furthermore, the investigation aims on decreasing stiffness by 25 %. Firstly, the geometric CAD model is simulated using the Finite Element Method (FEM), specific parameters are then altered. Accordingly boundary conditions, assumed simplifications and meshing is explained. Secondly, an experimental investigation is conducted, using an additive 3D printing process for the original as well as the improved model. Finally, the occurring forces in both models of the compliant mechanism are displayed in a graph for comparison of simulation and experimental investigation. It turns out that both results are quite similar, even though friction problems were encountered during investigation due to the used model material.
