etween the objects is expressed as two components when there is attempted or actual relative displacement between surfaces in contact. One component, the normal force, is a pushing force with an orientation perpendicular to the shared contact-surface. The frictional force component impedes the motion between the surfaces and is, therefore, opposite in direction to that of intended or actual motion. 5 The maximum static or the kinetic frictional force (F) tangent to the two surfaces is often hypothesized as proportional to the normal force, as expressed by the equation F = µN, where µ is the coefficient of friction between the surfaces, and N is the normal-force magnitude against the contact-surface of the object to be displaced. 6 Each of two coefficients of friction is a constant which is related to characteristics of the contacting surfaces of the objects; they are known as the static and kinetic coefficients of friction. 7 Ordinarily in static situations, the frictional force is just large enough to prevent relative tangential movement. Maximum static friction refers to the resistance to displacement encountered at the onset of motion; it corresponds to the smallest action required to initiate motion between surfaces that are at rest. Kinetic friction is the frictional force that impedes displacement during sliding motion between the 4
surfaces. 6 The magnitudes of the coefficients of friction are generally between zero and one. 5 Friction in Orthodontics Because frictional force acts in a direction opposite to the intended path of the object to be displaced, and sliding mechanics are commonplace in orthodontic therapy, an understanding of friction is necessary to achieve optimal clinical results. Fixed-appliance therapy usually involves some relative wire-slot displacement in various phases of treatment; hence, the generation of friction during tooth movement can be problematic for the orthodontist. Because a portion of the force for delivery to a tooth-crown may be necessary to overcome frictional resistance, the orthodontist must be sure to use a force of sufficient magnitude to also initiate a biological response in the supporting tissues. 7 Frictional resistance is thought play a role in delayed tooth movement, undesired movement and loss of anchorage. 6 Examination of its effect on orthodontic anchorage, however, reveals that, in some situations, the presence of friction at the anchor teeth can be desirable, because it helps to prevent unwanted movement of those teeth. Even so, a problem lies in the 5
