Nickel Titanium, also referred to as NiTi, is a strong, flexible metal that can be used to fabricate archwires for braces and other orthodontic appliances. The biocompatible metal alloy exhibits shape memory which allows it to return to an original shape, and when used as an archwire it can provide even and strong forces with a high degree of consistency. This allows the wires to stretch and move and then return to the desired shape. Different NiTi archwires exhibit special properties such as heat activation and extra elasticity. Give NiTi archwires a try to see if they work in your dental practice.
