Product Introduction
TMA archwire is made of titanium and molybdenum. It is manufactured via sophisticated processes including wire drawing, heat treatment and surface finishing.Its overall performance sits perfectly between nickel-titanium wire and stainless steel wire, combining merits of both materials with balanced rigidity and flexibility. Free of nickel composition, it is suitable for patients with nickel allergies.
Commonly applied in the middle and late stages of orthodontic treatment, it plays a vital transitional role. Available specifications cover 5 round wire sizes and 8 rectangular wire sizes, with 5 arch forms: Ovoid, Natural, Europ I, Europ II and Trueform I.

Clinical Application Scenarios
Transition and Fine Adjustment
Commonly used as transitional material shifting from nickel-titanium wires to stainless steel wires. In the late orthodontic stage, TMA rectangular wires are frequently adopted to precisely adjust the torque and position of individual teeth. It delivers moderate gentle force and prevents abnormal displacement of adjacent teeth.
Fabrication of Auxiliary Devices
Due to its bendability and moderate stiffness, TMA wires are widely used to make various complex orthodontic auxiliary appliances. It can intrude and retract anterior teeth, effectively shortening treatment duration.
