Effects of intraoral aging of arch-wires on frictional forces: An ex vivo study

INTRODUCTION: Archwires act as gears to move teeth with light, continuous forces. However, the intraoral use of orthodontic archwires is liable to surface deposits which alter the mechanical properties of archwires, causing an increase in the friction coefficient. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the surface...
