Does long-term intraoral service affect the mechanical properties and elemental composition of multistranded wires of lingual fixed retainers?

Does long-term intraoral service affect the mechanical properties and elemental composition of multistranded wires of lingual fixed retainers?

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the elemental and mechanical alterations of stainless steel (SS) multistranded orthodontic wires used in fixed retention after intraoral ageing. Materials and Methods: Two types of 0.022-inch, seven-stranded wires, Lingual Retainer Wire (LRW) and Tru-Ch...
