Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the mechanical properties and surface characteristics of four archwire materials: stainless steel, nickel-titanium, beta-titanium, and esthetic archwires, focusing on tensile strength, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, surface roughness, and frictional properties.
- Stainless steel had the best mechanical properties, including the highest tensile strength (900 N), yield strength (780 N), and modulus of elasticity (200 GPa), while esthetic archwires showed the highest surface roughness (0.40 µm) and frictional forces.
- The findings highlight that selecting the right archwire material is crucial for achieving effective and efficient tooth movement in orthodontic treatment.
