Three-dimensional deformation of orthodontic brackets [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Dental Biomechanics, 2013
Braces are used by orthodontists to correct the misalignment of teeth in the mouth. Archwire rotation is a particular procedure used to correct tooth inclination. Wire rotation can result in deformation to the orthodontic brackets, and an orthodontic torque simulator has been designed to examine this wire–bracket interaction.
