The orthodontic supply market is a prosperous billion-dollar industry, driven by an
increasing demand for orthodontic appliances. The supremacy of metallic first-generation …

Orthodontic archwires are the primary aid to achieve desirable tooth movement. These wires
are also considered to be the backbone of orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic archwires are …

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the colour stabilities of three types of
orthodontic clear aligners exposed to staining agents in vitro. Sixty clear orthodontic aligners …

A series of BaF2: Eu2+/3+ and BaF2: Eu2+/3+, Tb3+ one-dimensional (1D) nanofibres are
devised and constructed by using electrospinning and di-crucible fluorination technology …

(1) Background: Thermoplastic materials are not inert and subject to changes in the oral
environment, which affect their surface quality. Color stability and topographic characteristics …

Objective: To evaluate the effects of intraoral aging on surface properties of esthetic and
conventional nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires. Materials and Methods: Five NiTi wires were …

Objective: To evaluate the coating thickness of four brands of as-received esthetic coated
rectangular archwires and their surface characteristics and coating stability after 21 days of …

Objective In our previous study, glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRPs) made from
polycarbonate and glass fibers were prepared for esthetic orthodontic wires using …

A novel and universal method combining electrospinning with a twi-crucible fluorinating
technology was utilized to fabricate one-dimensional LaF 3: RE 3+(RE= Eu, Nd) …

Objective: To evaluate the in vitro ability of esthetic coated rectangular arch wires to retain
oral biofilms and in vivo biofilm formation on these wires after 4 and 8 weeks of clinical use …
