It is made of a nickel-titanium alloy and has a rectangular cross-section with a dimension of .018 inches.
Titanium alloy wires are commonly used in orthodontic treatments due to their ability to deliver a constant, gentle force over a long period of time. This is because they exhibit superelasticity, which means that they can return to their original shape even after being deformed. This allows the wire to apply a continuous force to the teeth, which gradually moves them into their desired positions.
The straight arch form of the .018 Upper Titanol Superelastic Archwire is designed to align and level the upper teeth. It is compatible with a wide range of bracket systems and is sold in packs of 10.
