Orthoform:Ovoid
A NITI archwire is a type of orthodontic wire made from nickel-titanium alloy. It is known for its shape memory and superelasticity, which makes it a gentle and effective way to move teeth.
NITI archwires work by applying a force to the teeth that is gradually released as the wire warms to body temperature. This allows the teeth to move slowly and comfortably, without the pain and discomfort that can sometimes be associated with traditional stainless steel wires.
NITI archwires are often used in the early stages of orthodontic treatment, when the orthodontist is working to align the teeth and correct bite problems. They can also be used in later stages of treatment to fine-tune the position of the teeth and achieve a perfect smile.
Here are some of the benefits of using NITI archwires:
- Gentleness: NITI archwires are gentler on the teeth and gums than traditional stainless steel wires. This makes them a good option for patients who are sensitive to pain or who have other medical conditions that make them more susceptible to discomfort.
- Efficiency: NITI archwires are more efficient at moving teeth than traditional stainless steel wires. This means that treatment time can often be shorter with NITI archwires.
- Comfort: NITI archwires are more comfortable to wear than traditional stainless steel wires. This is because they are more flexible and less likely to cause pain or irritation.
If you are considering orthodontic treatment, talk to your orthodontist about the benefits of using NITI archwires. They may be a good option for you.
Here are some additional information about NITI archwires:
- NITI archwires are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate different teeth and treatment needs.
- NITI archwires can be used in both traditional and clear braces.
- NITI archwires require regular adjustments by your orthodontist to ensure that they are providing the correct amount of force to move your teeth.
- NITI archwires can be more expensive than traditional stainless steel wires.
