Current standardized in vitro bending experiments for orthodontic archwires cannot capture friction conditions and load sequencing during multi-bracket treatment. This means that clinically relevant forces exerted by superelastic wires cannot be predicted. To address these limitations, this study explored a novel test protocol that estimates clinical load range.
