Polyphenylene polymers as esthetic orthodontic archwires

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2011
There is continuing interest in an esthetic, effective labial archwire. In this study, we evaluated the potential of new, high-strength polyphenylene polymers to fill this need.Polyphenylene (Primospire, Solvay Advanced Polymers, Alpharetta, Ga) polymer was extruded into wires with clinically relevant round and rectangular cross sections.

Forces Exerted by Orthodontic Aligning Archwires

British Journal of Orthodontics, 1988
The forces produced by 10 orthodontic archwires were measured in a simulated clinical situation and also with the wires in simple three point loading. All tests were made to a maximum deflection of 3 mm. At 1·5 mm deflection the forces exerted when each wire formed part of a fixed appliance ranged from 1·5 to 8·3 N.

Esthetic orthodontic archwires: Literature review

Journal of Orthodontic Research, 2013
There is a growing request for esthetic orthodontic appliances and by the effect of this request, most of the companies produced new esthetic appliances. These new appliances combine both acceptable esthetics and adequate technical performance. Recently, coated metallic and fiber-reinforced wires have beenintroduced to solve esthetic appearance problem.
