Orthodontics Unitek Nitinol Heat-Activated Archwire Nitinol Heat-Activated is a thermally activated super-elastic archwire. It is the easiest of Nitinol wires to engage, and it delivers light continuous forces that effectively move teeth with minimal discomfort to the patient. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Can be cooled or chilled resulting in a softer, more pliable wire for easy engagement Provides light continuous forces Force activation occurs around body temperature Available in square sizes making it excellent for early torque control Good bend retention when bent in hot water Pack of 10. Unitek Nitinol Super-Elastic Archwire Unitek Beta III Titanium Archwire Known as the "happy medium" between nickel-titanium and stainless steel, this archwire provides the extended working range of a titanium alloy and the bendability of stainless steel. ■ ■ ■ ■ Processed to reduce breakage Polished surface finish for improved sliding mechanics Tight corner radii specifications reducing torque loss, especially in final phase of treatment Pack of 10. Permachrome Resilient Archwire Our most popular stainless steel archwire - delivering a balance of malleability and springback. Nitinol Super-Elastic is easy to engage and maintains light continuous forces with a range between Nitinol Heat-Activated and Nitinol Classic. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Provides light continuous forces Easy engagement characteristics Good early torque control Pack of 10 Available in Reverse Curve in folder pack of 10 wires. Unitek Nitinol Classic Archwire ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Lingual Retainer Wire (Bondable) ■ ■ ■ ■ 3M Unitek pioneered nickel-titanium as an improved alternative to stainless steel in 1977. This "Classic" archwire continues to provide the linear elasticity and bendability of high strength steel and the elastic working range and lighter forces that only a nickel-titanium can deliver. It was the first and continues to be the most versatile. ■ ■ ■ Better formability than HI-T™ II Mid-range tensile strength Gold available in unit of use only 5/pk Orthoform I, II, III, LA packed 50/pk unit of use or 10/pk folders Standard Archform Round packed 50/pk folders, Square and Rectangular 10/pk folders Hybrid and Dimpled packed 10/pk unit of use ■ 7 in.
