JMU Thermal Activated Nickel Titanium Archwire, Expanded, 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.
  

Expanded Form Archwires

• Description: These archwires have been gently expanded or widened from their original form.
• Use: Expanded form archwires are used to help correct crowding or overlapping of teeth. They apply a controlled force to gradually create additional space.
