Is Low‐Level Laser Therapy an Effective Method to Alleviate Pain Induced by Active Orthodontic Alignment Archwire? A Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesJournal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice, 2019
Objective The aim of this study is to assess if low‐level laser therapy (LLLT) alleviates pain after the placement of orthodontic alignment archwire and if there could be a specific indication for the usage of LLLT according to the amount of dental ...

Development of a robotic system for orthodontic archwire bending

2016 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2016
Customized archwires are demanded in the lingual orthodontic treatment for patients suffering from malocclusion. Traditionally, these archwires could only be bent by experienced orthodontists manually. This pattern requires a specialized skills training and occupies long charside time, but still cannot ensure the accuracy of appliances.

Polyphenylene polymers as esthetic orthodontic archwires

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2011
There is continuing interest in an esthetic, effective labial archwire. In this study, we evaluated the potential of new, high-strength polyphenylene polymers to fill this need.Polyphenylene (Primospire, Solvay Advanced Polymers, Alpharetta, Ga) polymer was extruded into wires with clinically relevant round and rectangular cross sections.

Forces Exerted by Orthodontic Aligning Archwires

British Journal of Orthodontics, 1988
The forces produced by 10 orthodontic archwires were measured in a simulated clinical situation and also with the wires in simple three point loading. All tests were made to a maximum deflection of 3 mm. At 1·5 mm deflection the forces exerted when each wire formed part of a fixed appliance ranged from 1·5 to 8·3 N.

Effect of fruit juices and chloride ions on the corrosion behavior of orthodontic archwire

Materials technology (New York, N.Y.), 2018
Electrochemical and surface analytical study on the corrosion behavior of AISI 316L stainless steel orthodontic archwire in different fruit juices was carried out. The electrochemical parameters were measured after immersing the wires for approx. 24 h in

Cytotoxicity of orthodontic bands, brackets and archwires in vitro

Dental Materials, 2002
In orthodontic therapy, different materials are used and subjected to a damp oral environment, which can modify their properties. In order to evaluate the biocompatibility of metallic and non-metallic orthodontic appliances their in vitro cytotoxicity has been measured.Twenty-eight new and nine clinically used materials, including brackets, molar bands
