연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A method of determining whether a user is using an orthodontic appliance, said method comprising the steps of: sensing, using an electronic sensor positioned in the user's mouth, when an orthodontic appliance is positioned for use in a user's mouth to generate a digital output;processing the output and generating compliance data based on a compliance protocol; andstoring the compliance data. 12. The orthodontic compliance monitor method of claim 11, wherein said step of sensing comprises sensing at least one of temperature, pressure, moisture, light, or pH. 13. The orthodontic compliance monitor method of claim 11, further comprising the step of: transmitting the compliance data as at least one of radio frequency signals, optical signals, or electrical signals. 14. The orthodontic compliance monitor method of claim 11, further comprising the step of: displaying the compliance data. 15. A computerized orthodontic compliance system, comprising: a sensor that senses when an orthodontic appliance is positioned in the mouth for use;a processor that processes an output of said sensor and generates compliance data based on a compliance protocol;a memory that stores the compliance data; anda computer configured to receive the compliance data from said memory. 16. The system of claim 15, further comprising an interface configured to output the compliance data as at least one of radio frequency signals, optical signals, or electrical signals to said computer. 17. The system of claim 15, wherein said sensor comprises at least one of a temperature sensor, pressure sensor, moisture sensor, light sensor, or pH sensor. 18. The system of claim 15, wherein said processor comprises at least one of a micro controller, microprocessor, application specific integrated circuit, counter, or field programmable gate array. 19. The system of claim 15, further comprising an interface configured to transmit the compliance data as at least one of radio frequency signals, optical signals, or electrical signals. 20. The system of claim 15, further comprising an output device configured to output the compliance data. 21. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable code that executes orthodontic compliance monitor processing comprising: sensing when an orthodontic appliance is positioned in the mouth for use to generate an output;processing the output and generating compliance data based on a compliance protocol; andstoring compliance data. 22.
