Q

Types of friction

A
  • Static friction - Small amount of force required to initiate sliding between objects
  • Kinetic friction - Amount of force resisting sliding once moving.

Important : Static friction more important as teeth do not slide but Walk along arch wire with small tippping and uprighting movements.
