The dynforce archwire

Ann Stomatol (Roma). 2013 Jun 25;4(2):204-11. eCollection 2013. ABSTRACT This article is a presentation of a clinical methodology aimed at minimizing binding in fixed orthodontic appliances. The dynforce archwire is explained. The dynforce archwire has a full size anterior segment (e.g. .021×.025) and undersized posterior segments with rectangular cross-section (e.g. .018×.025 or .018×.022), and is…

SEM-Evaluation of enamel surfaces after orthodontic debonding: a 6 and 12-month follow-up in vivo study

Scanning. 2015 Sep-Oct;37(5):322-6. doi: 10.1002/sca.21215. Epub 2015 Apr 23. ABSTRACT The purpose of this in vivo study was to compare the morphology of the enamel surfaces before bracket bonding and 6 and 12 months after debonding. Replicas of thirty-two maxillary second premolars of 16 volunteers were made before bracket bonding (T0), after debonding (T1), 6…
