Comparison of slot deformation in stainless steel and ceramic brackets during torque: A finite element analysis

Abstract Introduction: Torque in orthodontics is vital in final positioning of the teeth during fixed appliance therapy. Torqueing of archwires is a significant factor in transferring the applied forces to the bracket which might cause deformation of the slot. Any deformation in the bracket slot ca...
