Product Description
Stainless Steel Rectangular Wires — Main Uses:
-
Final Stages of Treatment
-
Stainless steel rectangular wires are typically used in the finishing stage when teeth are aligned, and the focus is on precise control and root positioning.
-
-
Torque Control
-
Rectangular wires are essential for controlling root angulation and torque, which allows for accurate tooth positioning in all 3 dimensions (vertical, horizontal, and rotational).
-
-
Stabilizing Teeth
-
Due to their rigidity, stainless steel rectangular wires help to stabilize the teeth in their final positions, preventing unwanted movement as they are set in place.
-
-
Space Closure
-
Stainless steel rectangular wires are highly effective in closing spaces between teeth, especially when dealing with extraction sites or gaps that need to be filled.
-
-
Efficient Tooth Movement
-
They allow for stronger forces to be applied, making them effective for moving teeth into their final positions — whether in space closure, crossbite correction, or adjusting overjet.
-
-
Support in Maintaining Arch Form
-
Rectangular wires help in maintaining the arch form and tooth alignment over time as they are designed to hold their shape and resist deformation.
-
-
Anchorage Control
-
Stainless steel rectangular wires are ideal for anchorage when specific teeth are meant to stay stationary while others are moved.
-
-
Finishing and Detailing
-
These wires are often used to fine-tune the final position of teeth, especially for small adjustments or refining occlusion
-
Stainless Steel Rectangular Wires — Features:
-
Material:
-
Made from high-quality stainless steel, known for its strength, rigidity, and durability.
-
-
Shape:
-
Rectangular cross-section (e.g., 0.016″ x 0.022″, 0.017″ x 0.025″) provides better engagement and precise control compared to round wires.
-
-
High Stiffness:
-
Offers greater rigidity than NiTi (Nickel-Titanium) or round wires, allowing for stronger forces during tooth movement, particularly in the finishing stages.
-
-
Shape Retention:
-
Resistant to deformation—stainless steel rectangular wires hold their shape and do not bend easily, even when pressure is applied.
-
-
Precision Control:
-
Ideal for root torque, tooth angulation, and occlusal adjustments due to their ability to apply precise force in multiple directions (vertical, horizontal, and rotational).
-
-
Arch Form Maintenance:
-
Maintains the designed arch shape, ensuring that teeth stay aligned and in the correct positions as treatment progresses.
-
-
Low Friction:
-
The polished surface reduces friction between the wire and brackets, allowing for smoother tooth movement with less resistance.
-
-
Force Distribution:
-
Ensures a consistent and predictable force distribution, which is crucial for effective finishing and detailing of tooth positions.
-
-
Durability:
-
Highly durable and resistant to wear, making them a reliable choice for the final phase of treatment when long-lasting, strong forces are required.
-
Stainless Steel Rectangular Wires — Key Benefits:
-
-
-
Precise Torque Control
-
Rectangular wires excel in controlling root movement and tooth angulation, ensuring precise tooth positioning in all three dimensions: vertical, horizontal, and rotational.
-
-
Stability and Strength
-
High rigidity makes these wires extremely stable, allowing them to maintain the desired arch form and tooth alignment without bending or losing shape, even under significant pressure.
-
-
Effective in Final Stages
-
Ideal for the finishing stages of treatment, stainless steel rectangular wires allow for fine-tuning of tooth positions and occlusion (bite) adjustments.
-
-
Enhanced Force Application
-
These wires can apply stronger, more consistent forces, making them effective for space closure, correcting bite issues, and moving teeth into their final positions with greater efficiency.
-
-
Durability and Long-Lasting
-
Stainless steel is resistant to wear and deformation, making these wires a reliable choice for the later stages of treatment, where durability is critical.
-
-
Precise Arch Alignment
-
Their strength allows for better arch form retention, ensuring that the desired alignment is maintained throughout the treatment process.
-
-
Efficient for Complex Cases
-
Stainless steel rectangular wires can handle more complex cases (like correcting severe crowding, bite misalignments, or rotating teeth) by applying stronger forces while maintaining control over tooth movement.
