It is designed to apply a light, continuous force to the teeth, helping to align them and prepare them for more advanced treatment.
The Biostarter archwire is made of a nickel-titanium alloy, which allows it to exhibit superelasticity. This means that it can return to its original shape even after being deformed, allowing it to deliver a constant force to the teeth over an extended period of time.
The .012 Lower Biostarter Straight Arch has a rectangular cross-section with a dimension of .012 inches by .018 inches. It is designed to fit the lower arch and is compatible with a wide range of bracket systems.
