Exploring bracket torque expression: A comparative in vitro study of new self-ligating bracket designs and archwire geometries
The self-ligating bracket with torque in slot shows comparable torque expression effectiveness to the conventional bracket, outperforming the self-ligating bracket with torque in base. Archwire geometry does not significantly impact torque expression.
