The elasticity of TMA wires falls between that of nickel-titanium (NiTi) and stainless steel wires, providing great flexibility while still allowing orthodontists to customize bends and loops as needed. Plus, being completely nickel-free, they are perfectly safe for patients with nickel sensitivities.
Product Description
TMA straight wires are made of titanium and molybdenum. They are used for orthodontic correction and work in combination with brackets, bands, buccal tubes, and other accessories. Manufactured through advanced processes like wire drawing, heat treatment, and surface finishing, TMA archwires offer excellent performance.
The elasticity of TMA wires falls between that of nickel-titanium (NiTi) and stainless steel wires, providing great flexibility while still allowing orthodontists to customize bends and loops as needed. Plus, being completely nickel-free, they are perfectly safe for patients with nickel sensitivities.
Available in 350 mm spools, this is just one of the many premium dental consumables we offer.
Key Features
Excellent elasticity and gentle orthodontic force: Its elasticity is approximately 40% higher than that of stainless steel wires, while its stiffness is only about 50% of stainless steel. This means it can deliver gentler, continuous orthodontic forces, making it highly suitable for pain-sensitive patients.
Excellent Formability: Compared to nickel-titanium (NiTi) wires, TMA wires are much easier for orthodontists to bend clinically. Whether it involves creating various bends, adjusting torque, or welding auxiliary attachments like traction hooks, it handles these tasks effortlessly. Moreover, it retains permanent deformation after bending and is highly resistant to springback.
Good Toughness and Low Friction: Featuring a smooth surface and outstanding toughness, TMA wires are highly resistant to fracture. They also generate low sliding friction, which effectively improves the efficiency of tooth movement and overall treatment.
Superior Biocompatibility: Being completely nickel-free, TMA archwires are an excellent choice for patients with nickel allergies.
