Background
Increase in the number of adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment for aesthetics, demand for a more aesthetic orthodontic appliance has become inevitable.Objectives
This prospective study was undertaken to evaluate torque expression of 0.019 × 0.025 fiber composite wire and 0.019 × 0.025 NiTi wire in a similar prescription bracket systems (MBT, 0.022 slot) using CBCT.Methods
Twenty arches each (ten maxillary and ten mandibular), of 15 - 25 year old patients, were bonded with metal brackets and ceramic brackets having MBT prescription and 0.022slot. Two CBCT images were recorded at T0 and Tx. T0 point represented the stage of transition from a 0.017 × 0.025 NiTi wire to a 0.019 × 0.025 fiber composite or NiTi archwire. The Tx time point represented the end of treatment phase using 0.019 × 0.025 dimension wire, i.e. after 3 months of T0 scan.Results
The mean angulation change from T0 to Tx in fiber composite wire group and NiTi wire group was tested using Wilcoxon signed rank test and showed that the difference was statistically non-significant (P > 0.05).Conclusions
It was concluded that fiber reinforced composite wires were comparable to NiTi wires in their ability to deliver consistent forces and bring about comparable torque in individual teeth. Keywords:
