Material: An alloy composed of nickel and titanium.
Characteristics: More flexible and can exert lighter, continuous forces. They have shape memory properties, allowing them to return to their original shape after deformation.
Use: Commonly used in the early stages of treatment when more flexibility is needed. They are also used for patients with nickel allergies.
Over-Expanded Form Archwires
Description: Over-expanded form archwires are further widened compared to expanded form archwires.
Use: They are used in cases of severe crowding where more significant expansion is needed to create the necessary space for proper alignment.
