PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ideal for early to mid stage treatment with moderate to severe crowding
Orthoform Lo-force Thermal Copper NiTi wire is an ideal initial archwire choice. The precise temperature transition range of 27°C - 32°C ensures the wire is soft at room temperature, and allows easy ligation before full activation occurs in the mouth. Chilling the wire will increase its flexibility and ease engagement, improving patient comfort.
The copper NiTi wire reacts to the heat in a patient’s mouth and exerts a very light, continuous force as it returns to its original shape. It exhibits the same shape memory properties as our standard Thermal NiTi, but with approximately 50% less force. Due to the lower forces, torque control can be safely addressed earlier in treatment with the use of rectangular wires.
