The resistance to slipping in Orthodontics is influenced by multiple factors. It is directly impacted by the kinds of materials employed and influences the efficiency of orthodontic tooth movement. The biological factors affecting friction appear to have been ignored by orthodontists. Basic elements like the buildup of debris on the wire surface and the biodegradation of brackets noted after intraoral application may be as significant as the material type when evaluating friction in Orthodontics. Recent advancements in manufacturing methods for new and innovative orthodontic materials have resulted in reduced frictional resistance compared to similar products tested previously. Accurately assessing the various factors influencing the frictional resistance in orthodontic sliding mechanics within a clinical context is challenging. This is additionally complicated by the presence of numerous orthodontic devices, along with a significant diversity in the biological characteristics of patients. It has been proposed that, in clinical settings, these forces might be overvalued due to frictional resistance and are lower than those observed in steady-state laboratory tests. The decrease in the force exerted due to friction in sliding mechanics has been acknowledged for quite a while. Even more crucially, to avoid unwanted tooth movement and guarantee ideal tooth movement, it is essential to comprehend and manage friction.
