Comparative Evaluation of Biofilm Adhesion to Different Types of Archwire and Microbiological Colonization During Orthodontic Treatment

open access: yes, 2020
Objective: To evaluate the biofilm adhesion to 4 types of ‘as retrieved’ archwires during orthodontic treatment. To compare biofilm formation by viable cell counting (colony-forming units [CFU]) of microbes (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans ...

Thermo-mechanical characterization of NiTi orthodontic archwires with graded actuating forces

open access: yes, 2022
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

open access: yesCureus
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

open access: yesDental Press Journal of Orthodontics, 2012
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

Assessing the Interdimensional Fit of Archwire-Bracket Slot Engagement Using Microcomputed Tomography

open access: yes, 2016
Edgewise orthodontic brackets are designed with a geometric three-dimensional prescription that allows for specific angulation, inclination, and in-out positioning of individual teeth when a rectangular archwire is engaged and ligated into the bracket’s ...

Comparison of Apical Root Resorption encountered during Maxillary Incisor retraction using Stainless Steel Boot Loop and TMA Boot Loop – A Case Series

open access: yesOrthodontic Journal of Nepal, 2016
External apical root resorption (EARR) is probably the most common iatrogenic sequel of orthodontic treatment. The present case series focuses on the incisor retraction using frictionless mechanics.
