Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and force levels of self-ligating brackets versus conventional brackets with different ligation methods during tooth alignment.
- Six types of brackets (three conventional and three self-ligating) were tested with four different archwire materials to analyze how each combination affected tooth movement and forces applied.
- Results showed significant differences in initial force systems and tooth movements based on the bracket and wire combinations, indicating that the choice of bracket type and ligation method can influence orthodontic outcomes.
