Abstract

In orthodontics, we are moving teeth within the bone in order to bring the teeth into a good functional position and alignment. Therefore, we are using a fixed appliance technique. In orthodontic-fixed appliance therapy, the physical properties of the materials play an important role in the application of force to the teeth. To move teeth, we are using different wire materials with different elasticity modules.
