Products Details
NiTi wires were introduced as orthodontic wires due to their unique properties of shape memory and maintaining a constant force over a range of wire deflections to move teeth. RMO® offers many options for wires having low, medium, and high tooth-moving forces. The wire lines were designed with Thermaloy® having the lowest forces with a true heat-activation characteristic in the mouth. Thermaloy® Plus delivers medium forces, while still offering the feel of a thermal-activated wire. Orthonol® delivers high forces and has super elastic properties.
Orthonol® has been used to offer additional arch forms in the Ricketts® Penta-morphic shapes. Wires have been designed and manufactured in a logical and consistent way. In each wire line, a larger wire delivers a greater force. Among wire lines, for the same size wire (for example, 0.16” round or .017” x .025” rectangular), Thermaloy® delivers the lowest force; Thermaloy® Plus delivers a moderate force; and Orthonol® delivers the largest force. This gives the doctor a large number of options in selecting the type and size wire that is right for his/her practice.
Orthonol® Superelastic Nickel-Titanium
- Nickel-titanium alloys are shape memory alloys
- Orthonol® is superelastic nickel-titanium in preformed natural arch shapes
- Provides an ideal continuous gentle force at a constant, uninterrupted force level for tooth movement
- Reduces chair time by extending time between visits
- Permanent midline etchmarks: Three lines for a maxillary arch, one line for a mandibular arch
