An investigation into the mechanical characteristics of select self-ligated brackets at a series of clinically relevant maximum torquing angles: Loading and unloading curves and bracket deformation
Download2011
Nobes, David S., Major, Paul W., Melenka, Garrett W., Major, Thomas, Carey, Jason P.
Edgewise orthodontic treatment utilizes a force couple in order to achieve labial–lingual tooth angulation. Two self-ligating brackets (Damon Q and Speed) were examined across a range of clinically relevant torques in order to assess the loading and unloading curves and bracket deformation. A...

The effect of wire alloy on torque expression in metallic self-ligating orthodontic brackets
DownloadFall 2009
The objective of this thesis was to identify differences in torque expression between three brands of metallic self-ligating brackets with stainless steel, TMA® and CuNiTi® wire and to compare active and passive designs. 150 of each Damon-3MX (Ormco Inc, Orange, CA, USA), SPEED (Strite...

Two and three dimensional cephalometric assessment of dental and skeletal changes following orthodontic treatment with Damon passive self-ligating system
DownloadSpring 2010
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate dental and/or skeletal changes following orthodontic treatment with Damon self-ligating (SL) brackets in non-extraction patients. Methods: Frontal and lateral cephalomteric radiographs of 20 patients before and after non-extraction treatment with...
