Keywords: Training; Simulation device; Orthodontics; Biomechanics

Abstract:
Healthcare simulation devices offer the opportunity to improve practitioners’ knowledge, skills and behaviors. to improve practitioners’ knowledge, skills and behavior. The biomechanical simulation tools currently used in orthodontics are technically and pedagogically limited. The simulation tool (through dynamic visualization) could enable students to better understand the biomechanical principles of tooth movement, both in theoretical courses and clinical practice. The need to develop an innovative simulation device in this field is indeed shared by orthodontics students. The aim of this article is to identify (i) the interest in developing a innovative digital simulation device in this field, (ii) the learning objectives, (iii) the technical aspects, (iv) the constraints for designing an innovative device.
