The Effects of Elastic Size and Archwire Type on 3-Dimensional Force Systems When Using Class II Interarch Elastics [PDF]
Objectives: An orthodontic simulator (OSIM) device was used to compare the force systems generated by class II elastics on a ½ cusp class II malocclusion using four combinations of two elastic types and two archwire types.

Thermo-mechanical characterization of NiTi orthodontic archwires with graded actuating forces
Functionally graded NiTi orthodontic archwire was tested to assess the evolution of the actuation force as a function of the temperature. Varying actuation forces on the same orthodontic wire allow the optimization of repositioning of the different types

Robotic Archwire Bending in Orthodontics: A Review of the Literature
Malocclusion is a widespread oral health issue that adversely affects individuals' health and well-being. Currently, fixed orthodontics is considered the most efficient treatment for correcting malocclusion, with archwire bending playing a key role in orthodontic treatment.

The role of friction in orthodontics
INTRODUCTION: Sliding mechanics is widely used during orthodontic treatment. One of the disadvantages of this mechanics is the friction generated at the bracket/archwire interface, which may reduce the amount of desired orthodontic movement obtained. Due
