TL;DR: A friction-testing assembly simulating three-dimensional tooth rotations was constructed to study factors affecting friction magnitude and recommends the application of 0.016 x 0.022 inch stainless steel wire combined with a medium or wide bracket for an arch-guided mechanism with an 0.018 inch slot.

TL;DR: Study of tooth movement within the bony socket and tooth translation through bone reveals three different biologic systems involving (1) bioelastic, (2) connective tissue, and (3) cellular processes which result in biologic adaptation to normal and abnormal environmental forces.

TL;DR: The wire size-alloy interaction on the magnitude of bracket-wire friction was statistically significant (p less than 0.005), and with most wire sizes and alloys, narrow single brackets were associated with lower amounts of friction than wider brackets were.
242 citations
TL;DR: In vitro and clinical investigation found that self-ligating bracket systems displayed a significantly lower level of frictional resistance, dramatically less chairtime for arch wire removal and insertion, and promoted improved infection control, when compared with polyurethane elastomeric and stainless steel tie wire ligation for ceramic and metal twin brackets.

TL;DR: The coefficients of friction are summarized between different arch wire-bracket couples as a function of material, geometric, and external parameters in order to evaluate their effects on sliding-binding and notching.

TL;DR: A research study on “The Selection of Forces for Tooth Movement” finds that the rate of tooth movement is largely determined by the speed with which the periodontal membrane re-establishes circulation in the areas of pressure and tension.
