Friction Forces during Sliding of Various Brackets for Malaligned Teeth: An In Vitro Study
Figure 4
Boxplot of the friction force generated by different brackets for different levels of apical malalignment of the canine and diameters of the orthodontic wire (b). For each of the investigated bracket/ligature combinations, the median value, the first quartile, the third quartile, and the minimum and the maximum values are indicated (a).
