Effect of elastomeric ligatures on frictional forces between the archwire and orthodontic bracket

Effect of elastomeric ligatures on frictional forces between the archwire and orthodontic bracket

Aim: To evaluate the frictional force between the archwire and orthodontic bracket generated by elastomeric ligatures with polymer coating (Super slick, TP Orthodontics) and conventional ligatures (Morelli) using two types of insertion techniques. Methods: Forty elastomeric ligatures, 20 with polyme...
