Source: Comparative friction study on self-ligating brackets, issue 137, October 2020

The graphs presented in this study depict comparisons across a 5 bracket segments of  0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5mm of horizontal and/or vertical interbracket malalignment, and several archwire types (i.e. 0.014", 0.016" nickel titanium, 0.016",  0.0195"x0.025" and 0.016"x0.016"/Wedgewise stainless steel). It can be seen that friction varies with differences in malalignment and wire dimensions. The Triamond bracket was found to express slightly more friction than the passive self-ligating Edgewise bracket (Damon 2) when brackets were less malaligned and smaller diameter wires were used because these nearly (0.014"), or fully (0.016") fill the Wedgewise slot. The lower friction found in the latter is due to slot "play" in the Edgewise brackets. Meaning, that there is less contact between the slot and the wire which allows unnecessary biomechanical side effects and prolonged treatment duration. The converse is true when wire dimension or malalignment is increased which generates greater binding/notching in Edgewise.

These findings show that the unique geometry and interplay between the slot and archwire in the Triamond bracket avoid the inherent problems of Edgewise. These allow the Triamond appliance to affect leveling and aligning in less time with decreased forces and is more efficient during the working/finishing stage.
