A device and method for measuring force systems is provided. The device measures and displays one or more components of a force system generated by medical or dental appliances or body tissues. The invention provides a probe or attachment device for engaging the structure to be measured, such as orthodontic springs, wires, and appliances; surgical fixation devices; and body tissue. The probe transmits the force system produced by the structure to a sensor bar which is attached to the probe. The sensor bar resolves the force system being measured into electrical signals. A device is used to display representations of the electrical signals.
