Frictional resistance of self-ligating versus conventional brackets in different bracket-archwire-angle combinations

Abstract: ObjectiveTo compare the influence of archwire material (NiTi, beta-Ti and stainless steel) and brackets design (self-ligating and conventional) on the frictional force resistance.Material and MethodsTwo types of brackets (self-ligating brackets - Smartclip, 3M/Unitek - and conventional brackets - Gemini, 3M/Unitek) with three (0, 5, and 10 degrees) slot angulation attached with elastomeric ligatures (TP Orthodontics) were tested. All brackets were tested with archwire 0.019"x0.025" nickel-titanium, beta-titani… Show more

“…The orthodontic therapy should be cautious when applying light and controlled forces 15 . Self‐ligating brackets with small round arch wires are a good possibility to reduce frictional resistance and create proper low forces 17 . For that reason, the second molars impacted in our patient were not treated.…”

“…In the present laboratory study, the authors compared the frictional resistance of three types of brackets of the same prescription, when associated with one type of steel archwire. Previous studies have been conducted by different authors to analyze the frictional force in sliding mechanics, and they were able to conclude that metal brackets presented lower frictional forces than ceramic brackets when they were compared in sliding mechanics 1,12 .…”
