About
Olivia Engeler is a clinical researcher in orthodontics, with a focused expertise in the biomechanics of fixed retention and the material properties of orthodontic wires. Her most cited work, an in vitro study published in 2020, systematically compared the torsional load transfer of various commercially available stainless-steel wires used for fixed retainers. Conducted at the University of Basel’s Department of Pediatric Oral Health and Orthodontics, this research provided critical, quantitative data on how different wire compositions and geometries transmit forces during simulated tooth movement, directly informing clinical decisions for long-term stability. With 17 citations, this study has become a foundational reference for clinicians and biomaterials scientists seeking to optimize retainer performance and minimize failure. Engeler’s work bridges the gap between material science and practical orthodontic application, offering evidence-based guidance for wire selection. Her contributions are particularly valuable for researchers and practitioners focused on the mechanical reliability of orthodontic appliances, highlighting her role in advancing the precision and safety of fixed retention protocols.
