Comparative Study of NiTi Orthodontic Wires
Abstract In this study, two superelastic NiTi orthodontic wires (0.46 x 0.64 mm 2 ) were analyzed. The determination of phase transformation temperatures along with the identification of the predominant phase at room and intraoral temperatures were accomplished by DSC analysis. Superelastic behavior was analyzed through tensile tests. 3-point bending
