Description
Friction in Orthodontics" presents a comprehensive analysis of frictional resistance encountered during orthodontic tooth movement, with a focus on sliding mechanics. Drawing from extensive literature and scientific research, the book explores how bracket design, archwire material, ligation techniques, and surface coatings influence friction at the bracket-archwire interface. By bridging foundational concepts with modern innovations, this work offers valuable insights for postgraduate students, researchers, and practicing orthodontists aiming to enhance treatment efficiency and reduce resistance during tooth movement.
