Advances in orthodontic archwires
Recent advances in orthodontic wire alloys have resulted in a varied array of wires that exhibit a wide spectrum of properties. Up until the 1930s, the only orthodontic wires available were made of gold. Subsequently, stainless steel was introduced and due to its superior properties gained popularity over gold.

Newer Archwires in Orthodontics
Recent advances in orthodontic wire alloys have resulted in a varied array of wires that exhibit a wide spectrum of properties. Appropriate use of these wires may enhance the patient comfort; reduce the chair side time and duration of the treatment. Though superior materials and techniques are now available and many replace conventional methods, one ...
