Comparative Evaluation of Two Bracket Systems’ Kinetic Friction: Conventional and Self-Ligating

Comparative Evaluation of Two Bracket Systems’ Kinetic Friction: Conventional and Self-Ligating

Friction is an intensely studied feature in orthodontics, as the sliding mechanics approach remains one of the most utilized techniques in current practice, and the question of whether self-ligating brackets produce less friction than conventional brackets still stands. The objective of this study w...
