Influence of orthodontic archwire (nickel–titanium versus copper–nickel–titanium) on pain in adult patients in the aligning phase of treatment with self-ligating brackets (two months of follow-up): a prospective observational pilot study

Abstract Background The aim of this pilot study was to analyze the influence of a nickel–titanium archwire (NiTi) and a copper–nickel–titanium archwire (Cu-NiTi) on pain levels in adult patients during the first two months of orthodontic treatment with self-ligating brackets. Methods This prospectiv...
