Comparison of Deformation and Torque Expression of the Orthos and Orthos Ti Bracket Systems
Download2011
Major, Paul W., Melenka, Garrett W., Carey, Jason P., Nobes, David S., Heo, Giseon, Lacoursiere, Ryan A.
Orthodontic torque expression is the result of axial rotation of rectangular archwires within a rectangular bracket slot. This study investigates the effect of bracket material on torque expression. Torque exerted by a rotating archwire on each bracket will be measured as well as the relative...
