The effects of glass fiber-reinforced plastic for orthodontic wire on the malocclusion of mild anterior crowding during the initial leveling stage: A typodont experimental study

Conclusion GFRP wire showed equivalent efficiency to that of commercial Ni–Ti wire in improving mild anterior crowding in a typodont experiment. Therefore, GFRP wire can be used in place of Ni–Ti wire during the initial leveling stage.
