Evaluation and Comparison of Force Degradation Levels Between Elastomeric Chains and Active Tiebacks With Elastic Modules During Individual Canine Retraction
The elastomeric chain and active tieback methods demonstrated substantial force degradation over six weeks, with no statistically significant difference between the two. Thus, both materials can be effectively utilized for canine retraction in orthodontic treatment as they exhibit similar patterns of force degradation.
