Specifically, when the oral lens is inserted into the patient's oral cavity, the light is reflected from the lens above the oral lens into the oral cavity, then reflected back above the lens through the tissues, and is observed by the eyes again. In this way, doctors can clearly observe the situation inside the oral cavity. Orthodontic mirrorsis applicable to multiple medical departments, including:
