Development study demonstrates a tube-based bite force measuring device for pediatric patients, indicating interactive games may enhance daily training compliance.
In orthodontic treatment for children, a method has been recommended to strengthen bite force by chewing a tube in a certain rhythm for five minutes every day. However, ensuring that children keep the training daily is difficult due to repetitive, monotonous movements. Additionally, it is not easy for guardians to keep monitoring and ensure that children are doing the training properly, biting the tube with appropriate force. Therefore, we aim to develop an interactive serious game that utilizes bite force as an input device, allowing children to continue training properly and allowing guardians to monitor their training situation easily. This study introduces a simplified tube-based bite force measurement device to assess and record the force of the bites, as well as training games using the device.
