Labio-lingual root control of lower anterior teeth and canines obtained by active and passive self-ligating brackets.

Conclusions: A significant proclination was seen for the mandibular front teeth; the claimed third-order torque control of SL systems could not be demonstrated. Therefore, a considerable play between the wire and the brackets could be hypothesized, even more in relation to the passive than the active SL brackets.
