INTRODUCTION: Self-ligating brackets have been gaining popularity over the past several
decades. Various advantages for these systems have been claimed. The purposes of this …

Objective: To evaluate the clinical differences in relation to the use of self-ligating brackets in
orthodontics. Materials and Methods: Electronic databases were searched; no restrictions …

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of mandibular tooth
alignment and the clinical effectiveness of a self-ligating and a conventional preadjusted …

Objective: To evaluate the quantitative effects on torque expression of varying the slot size of
stainless steel orthodontic brackets and the dimension of stainless steel wire, and to analyze …

INTRODUCTION: Our objective was to compare the effects of 2 preadjusted appliances on
angular and linear changes of the mandibular incisors, and transverse mandibular arch …

The purpose of this research was to investigate the torque capacity of active and passive self-
ligating brackets compared with metallic, ceramic, and polycarbonate edgewise brackets …

Objective: To evaluate two different treatment systems with regard to incisor position,
transverse dimension changes in maxillary arch, changes in maxillary molar inclinations …

Objective. The upper incisors torque expression is essential for the orthodontic treatment
accuracy. Various orthodontic devices are claimed to have different inclination control …

SUMMARY BACKGROUND: Fixed-appliance treatment is a major part of orthodontic
treatment, but clinical evidence remains scarce. OBJECTIVES: Objective of this systematic …

Aim To test the null hypothesis that there was no difference in treatment efficiency between
therapies undertaken with conventional (CBs), passive self-ligating (PSLBs) or active self …
