THERMADENT™
SUPER LIGHT & light

PERFORMANCE

Like an ice skating princess, our thermal heat-activated THERMADENT™ NiTi wires are soft and agile at cold temperatures. They can perform numerous delicate turns and bends like a wire in a bracket slot. It’s clinical elegance gained from constant low forces throughout diameter progression guarantee soft but effective leveling and alignment.

POWER

 From .012” up to .021”x.025”, all wires work with deflection forces from 35 grams up to 150 grams. Larger diameters can be introduced earlier. 
3D tooth movement is primarily achieved by progression of wire diameter.  The 40° offers even 30% less force.

SPEED

With its soft feel at room temperature, you will love the ease of ligation.  Highly efficient for crowding, and general leveling and alignment. 
Larger wire diameters can be integrated earlier for 3D tooth movement. This wire used for healthy tooth movement with low tooth moving forces.​

EXTRA BENEFIT

Low biological tooth moving forces allow to introduce early torque control with large cross-section rectangle wires, such as our .014” x .025’”. Try it out as a starting wire and you will be amazed with simultaneous levelling, torquing and correction of rotations. 


​Nickel Titanium Maximum Bend Angles
​

NiTi is so resilient that it is tempting to bend it just a little more: but, how far can it go without
​ being over-stressed and permanent deformations is introduced?
We used a three prong (.020” radius) bending pliers (jaws depicted as grey circles in diagram above) to replicate the bend angle of a wire exiting a bracket. 
​The maximum bend angle was determined by measuring, on a degree wheel, the angle of deflection prior to permanent deformation.

NOTE: This data is for approximate reference only.  Actual bend angles will be dependent upon specifics of a particular case.
​ Actual wire dimension, bracket position, slot edge radius, wire span, and ligating techniques, etc. will all affect maximum bend angle.
