JMU Nickel Titanium Archwire, Ovoid, 10/Pk

Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti) Archwires 

• 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.

Ovoid Form Archwires

• Description: Ovoid form archwires have an oval or elliptical shape. They are contoured to approximate the natural shape of the dental arch.
• Use: Ovoid form archwires are used to provide more individualized and targeted force distribution, especially in cases where the patient's arch shape deviates from the standard.
