Most orthodontic equipment is fabricated from alloys such as stainless steel, Co-Cr and Ni-Ti
because of their excellent elastic properties. In recent years, increasing esthetic demands …

INTRODUCTION: Understanding the biologic requirements of orthodontic patients requires
proper characterization studies of new archwire alloys. The aims of this study were to …

Objective: To determine the effect of coating on the properties of two esthetic orthodontic
nickel-titanium wires. Materials and Methods: Woowa (polymer coating; Dany Harvest) and …

Objective: To test for differences in loading and unloading forces delivered by six coated
nickel-titanium wires and their noncoated equivalents. Materials and Methods: From six …

Introduction: The exact composition and material properties of the metal alloys used in
orthodontics are usually not identified by or even available from manufacturers. This makes …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the load-deflection characteristics of three types of
nickel-titanium wires and investigate the effects of recycling on superelastic properties of …

Generally, orthodontic treatment uses metallic wires made from stainless steel, cobalt‐
chromium‐nickel alloy, β‐titanium alloy, and nickel‐titanium (Ni–Ti) alloy. However, these …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the force levels of aesthetic Ni-Ti
wires to regular Ni-Ti wires of the same dimension and evaluate their mechanical properties …

New fiber-reinforced plastic orthodontic wire (FRP wire) was fabricated with polymethyl
methacrylate (PMMA) for the matrix and biocompatible CaO-P2O5-SiO2-Al2O3 (CPSA) …

The aim of this work is to describe and compare mechanical properties of eight widely used
nickel–titanium orthodontic wires under uniform testing conditions and to determine the …
