Orthodontic Archwires

By Vineet Golchha

In fixed orthodontic treatment, wires and brackets are the basic elements that are used to move teeth. Orthodontic wires are components of orthodontic appliances used to carry out the necessary tooth movements. The development of an optimum, predictable and effective orthodontic force system is predicated on the knowledge of mechanics, biomaterials and their interaction. Wires have been a mainstay in orthodontic treatment since the establishment of the profession. Growing demand of invisible braces by aesthetically conscious patients has led to remarkable inventions in materials for aesthetic labial archwires. Appropriate use of all the available wire types may enhance patient comfort and reduce chairside time and the duration of treatment. It may be beneficial instead to exploit the desirable qualities of a particular wire type that is specifically selected to satisfy the demands of the presenting clinical situation.
