Wear mechanisms and damage evolution of superelastic NiTi orthodontic archwires under coupled bending-sliding loading in simulated oral conditions

Nickel–titanium (NiTi) archwires are widely used in orthodontic applications due to their superelastic response and ability to deliver nearly constant forces. During clinical service, these components are subjected to repeated sliding, bending, and moderate temperature variations...
