Article Synopsis
- This in vitro study assessed how effectively torque is expressed in orthodontic brackets when it's placed in either the bracket slot or the bracket base, taking into account different archwire shapes (rectangular vs. rhomboid).
- Using a printed maxillary model and three types of brackets, the researchers gathered 105 torque measurements to analyze the differences in torque expression across various setups.
- Results indicated that the self-ligating bracket with torque in the slot (Damon Ultima™) was more effective in expressing torque compared to the one with torque in the base (Damon Q2™), while archwire shape did not significantly impact torque outcomes.
