Stainless Steel Straight Wires For Late Stages Of Orthodontic Treatment.

Product Specifications

Specification classification (unit: inches)

Round wire:

commonly used with diameters of 0.014, 0.016, 0.018, 0.020, used for mid-term leveling, simple sliding, and holding.

Rectangular:

commonly used cross-sections of 0.016 × 0.022, 0.018 × 0.022, 0.019 × 0.025, 0.021 × 0.025, used for torque control, root control, and gap closure. 0.019 × 0.025 is the "gold standard" for gap closure.

Length and shape: Straight thread (elongated, bent by the physician as needed), pre formed arch (upper/lower jaw, oval/square/natural shape).

Product Description

Stainless Steel Straight Wire is a fundamental and essential archwire material in dental orthodontics. It is fabricated from medical-grade stainless steel through multiple processes including wire drawing, heat treatment, surface finishing, drawing and straightening, featuring excellent straightness and smooth surface.

It is characterized by high strength, high rigidity, corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness. With great rigidity and strong initial force, it is applied for leveling, space closure and arch form maintenance in the middle and late stages of orthodontic treatment.

This product is available in 5 round wire specifications and 8 rectangular wire specifications, with a standard length of 350mm. It is packed in drums.

Clinical Application

Stainless steel straight wire is commonly used in the middle and late stages of orthodontic treatment, playing a key role in shaping and final adjustment.

Mid stage leveling: After aligning the nickel titanium wires, replace them with stainless steel round wires (0.016/0.018) to further level and stabilize the dental arch.

Late-stage adjustment and control: In the later treatment period, dentists adopt rectangular stainless steel straight wires to precisely control tooth torque and angulation, accomplishing final fine alignment.
