Orthodontic wires Square (NiTi Round)

Square NiTi Wire — Features:

• Material: Nickel-Titanium (superelastic, shape-memory)

• Elasticity: Provides light, continuous forces over a long period

• Flexibility: Still flexible, but more rigid than round NiTi wires

• Engagement: Fits better into bracket slots (compared to round), starting to control not just tipping but also torque (root movement)

Square NiTi Wire — Benefits:

• Better 3D control: Helps control rotation, tipping, and beginning torque of teeth.

• Efficient tooth movement: More precise than round wires, but still gentler than steel.

• Patient comfort: Less pain and pressure compared to stainless steel square wires.

• Shape memory: Helps maintain arch form even if deformed by misaligned teeth.

• Reduced chair time: Fewer wire changes because it works over a wide range of tooth positions.

• Gentle on brackets: Reduces risk of bracket breakage compared to stiffer wires.

• Smooth transitions: Acts as a bridge between early-round NiTi wires and final stiff rectangular wires (like stainless steel).
