HiBi FBG are used to demonstrate a technique evaluate orthodontic forces. The experiments performed in an artificial maxilla supporting dental wax and metal teeth. teeth instrumented using loads applied representing auxiliary appliance. values of the (extra-oral) based on clinical applications. It is demonstrated that tooth vestibular surface subject force 0.13 N. size sensitivity allow for determination forces orthogonally
