Effect of Sodium Fluoride Mouthwash on the Frictional Resistance of Orthodontic Wires [PDF]
Objectives: The friction between the brackets and orthodontic wire during sliding mechanics inflicts difficulties such as decreasing the applied force and tooth movement and also the loss of anchorage.

The Eulerian buckling test for orthodontic wires [PDF]
Orthodontic treatment is mainly dependent on the loads developed by metal wires. The load developed by a buckled orthodontic wire is of great concern for molar distalization and cannot be simply derived from mechanical properties measured through classical tests (i.e. tensile, torsion, and bending).

Autoclaving and clinical recycling: Effects on mechanical properties of orthodontic wires
Background: About half of the orthodontists recycle and reuse orthodontic wires because of their costs. So when talking about reuse and sterilization of wires, their effects on mechanical properties of wires should be clarified. The purpose of this study
