JMU Thermal Activated Nickel Titanium Archwire, Over-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.
  

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.
