Friction is a critical factor in orthodontic sliding mechanics. This review summarizes friction coefficients between arch wires and brackets, aiding practitioners in managing this force for better treatment outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tribology

Background:

  • Friction is an inherent force opposing motion in sliding mechanics during orthodontic treatment.
  • Effective management of friction is crucial for successful clinical practice and predictable tooth movement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compile and present coefficients of friction for various arch wire-bracket combinations.
  • To analyze how material, geometric, and external factors influence friction in orthodontics.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and data synthesis of existing studies on friction coefficients.
  • Analysis of parameters affecting friction, including material properties and external influences.

Main Results:
