Heo, Giseon, Nobes, David S., Al Fakir, Hussam, Major, Paul W., Melenka, Garrett W., Carey, Jason P.
Objective: Torque is applied to orthodontic brackets in order to alter the buccal-lingual angulation of a tooth. One factor that can affect torque is the ligation mode used to retain the archwire in the bracket slot. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of stainless steel...

The effects of stainless steel ligature ties on the mechanical characteristics of conventional and self-ligated brackets subjected to torque
DownloadFall 2012
Stainless steel ligatures ties are routinely used by orthodontists to improve torque; nevertheless, there is a lack of evidence as to the role of stainless steel ligation in bracket retentive characteristics. The objective of this study is to look into the effects of stainless steel (SS) ligation...
