Orthodontic Archwire

An archwire in orthodontics is a wire conforming to the alveolar or dental arch that can be used with dental braces as a source of force in correcting irregularities in the position of the teeth. An archwire can also be used to maintain existing dental positions; in this case it has a retentive purpose. Orthodontic archwires may be fabricated from several alloys, most commonly stainless steel, nickel-titanium alloy, and beta-titanium alloy.

Different Types of wires include:

• • Noble Metal Alloy
  • Stainless Steel archwire
  • Multi-Strand Stainless Steel archwires
  • Australian archwire
  • Cobalt-Chromium Archwire
  • Nickel-titanium Archwire
  • Copper nickel-titanium alloy
  • Shape memory
  • Beta-titanium archwire
  • Connecticut new archwire
