Thermal Programming of Commercially Available Orthodontic NiTi Archwires

Materials, 2023
The shape of superelastic Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) archwires can be adjusted with thermal treatments using devices such as the Memory-MakerTM (Forestadent), which potentially affects their mechanical properties. The effect of such treatments on these mechanical properties was simulated by means of a laboratory furnace.

Contemporary orthodontic archwires: A literature review

Al-Salam Journal for Medical Science, 2023
Archwires are the principal force generators used in orthodontic treatment. They are one of the fixed appliances’ active components. They produce various tooth movements by interaction with brackets and buccal tubes. Recent advancements in orthodontics have resulted in a wide variety of archwire alloys with a broad spectrum of characteristics.

Dynamic frictional behaviour of orthodontic archwires and brackets [PDF]

The European Journal of Orthodontics, 2004
The aim of this study was to evaluate the frictional behaviour of 15 different archwires and 16 different brackets using small oscillating displacements when opposed to a standard stainless steel bracket or a standard stainless steel wire. Tests were run according to a pilot study at a frequency of 1 Hz and with a reciprocating tangential displacement ...
