The present disclosure includes computing device related, systems, and methods for identifying force placed on a tooth are described herein. One method includes receiving initial orthodontic data (IOD) including teeth data; creating a virtual set of teeth from the IOD; receiving dental appliance information including at least one of dental appliance material properties and characteristics; virtually placing a dental appliance, formed from the dental appliance information, onto the virtual set of teeth; and determining one or more forces applied to the teeth based on information from the IOD and dental appliance information.

Identifying forces on a tooth

A pilot signal is prepended to a communication signal to form a test signal. The test signal is transmitted through a communication network and received from the communication network. A temporal marker in the pilot signal portion of the received test signal is identified. The communication signal portion of the received test signal is known to begin at a specified time following the temporal marker. Using the identified temporal marker and the specified time, a beginning of the communication signal portion is identified within the received test signal. The identified beginning of the communication signal portion in the received test signal is then aligned with a beginning of an undegraded version of the communication signal.
