Objective: To evaluate the quantitative effects on torque expression of varying the slot size of
stainless steel orthodontic brackets and the dimension of stainless steel wire, and to analyze …

Background The aim of this study is to calculate and compare the play and torque
expression of 0.018 and 0.022 bracket slots when engaged with archwires of different size …

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to investigate the torque capabilities of
conventional and self-ligating brackets by using the finite element method. METHODS …

Objective: The force moment providing rotation of the tooth around the x-axis (buccal-
lingual) is referred to as torque expression in orthodontic literature. Many factors affect …

Objective. The upper incisors torque expression is essential for the orthodontic treatment
accuracy. Various orthodontic devices are claimed to have different inclination control …

SUMMARY BACKGROUND: Fixed-appliance treatment is a major part of orthodontic
treatment, but clinical evidence remains scarce. OBJECTIVES: Objective of this systematic …
