[BRACES EXPLAINED] Wires Pt.1 (NiTi Shape Memory)

Braces Explained: Wires Pt.1 (NiTi Shape Memory)

In this little minis series, I want to highlight some of the wires that you may hear your orthodontist using. The first one is probably the most popular word you hear, and that is “NiTi” wire. NiTi stands for nickel titanium and it is an annoy of metals that have shape memory!

They are used for the beginning portion of your treatment as they have shape memory and want to always spring back to their original shape. This helps align your teeth into an ideal archform! All orthodontic wires come in three different shapes: round, square and rectangular, when you look at them from the cross-section.

In this video we will discuss the difference between round and rectangular NiTi wires and why they are used!

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me via the comments below!
