Nickel Titanium and Thermal activated Archwires
by Jo Harts
Type of wire is one of the most important things that should be considered when having braces. The Nickel titanium and thermal activated archwire is the most advanced archwires in the industry of Orthodontics. It has a more consistent performance and more resistance to permanent deformation. There is no need for multiple staging of archwires as with stainless steel alternatives. It is extra smooth which avoids friction in a bracket slot for an easier and more efficient treatment. Its thermal performance is soft and pliable at room temperature which allows for easier archwire insertion. It is also super elastic at body temperature. The force of the wire will not change one place in the mouth. With this new advancement in the wires being used for braces, having braces is now less painful and less traumatic for patients.
