It is a nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy wire that is designed to have shape memory and superelasticity, allowing it to return to its original shape after being deformed by orthodontic forces.
The PDS .018 Ultra Thermal Universal - Roncone archwire has a rectangular shape with a dimension of 0.018 x 0.025 inches, making it suitable for use in both upper and lower arches. The Roncone shape is a specialized shape that is designed to reduce friction and increase patient comfort during orthodontic treatment.
The Ultra Thermal feature of this archwire allows it to respond to the patient's body temperature, making it more comfortable and effective for use in orthodontic treatment. It is also more resistant to deformation compared to other types of orthodontic wires, which can help reduce the frequency of wire changes during treatment.
