Niti Tooth Colour Archwires Resulting In Faster Tooth Movement And Shorter Treatment
The function of nickel titanium coated wire is to significantly reduce the sliding resistance between the archwire and the bracket, resulting in faster tooth movement and shorter treatment duration. The advantage is a smooth surface, reducing ligation friction, and suitable for sliding to close gaps.
Product Description
Nickel titanium coated wire is an orthodontic archwire coated with a functional thin film on the surface of ordinary nickel titanium alloy archwire through physical/chemical methods such as sputtering, deposition, and electrostatic spraying. The core is a nickel titanium substrate, and the outer layer is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), epoxy resin, and other coatings. The function of nickel titanium coated wire is to significantly reduce the sliding resistance between the archwire and the bracket, resulting in faster tooth movement and shorter treatment duration. The advantage is a smooth surface, reducing ligation friction, and suitable for sliding to close gaps.

Advantage
1. The substrate performance remains unchanged: retaining the superelasticity, shape memory, and sustained light force of nickel titanium wire, with the same alignment effect as ordinary nickel titanium wire.
2. Low friction and high sliding performance: The friction coefficient is 30% -50% lower than that of ordinary nickel titanium wire, and teeth move more smoothly.
3. Aesthetic invisibility: White/transparent coating solves the problem of metal "steel teeth" and improves patient acceptance.
4. Low allergenicity and safer: The coating isolates nickel ions, which can be used by people with nickel allergies and has better biocompatibility.
5. Corrosion resistance and long lifespan: resistant to saliva, food acid and alkali corrosion, not easy to rust or break.
6. Antibacterial and easy to clean: The surface is less prone to bacterial plaque, making oral cleaning easier.
Precautions for use
• Avoid high-temperature disinfection (such as high-pressure steam) to prevent coating detachment, and it is recommended to sterilize with ethylene oxide;
• Advise patients to eat less hard objects, chew less gum, and reduce coating wear;
• The detachment of the coating does not affect the elasticity of the substrate and can be continued to be used or replaced as needed;
• Fine adjustments in the later stage require the replacement of stainless steel square wires.
