NT0407 Nitinol Orthodontic Appliance (Nickel-Titanium)

Description of Nitinol Dental Braces

Nitinol dental braces are employed in orthodontic treatments. They consist of approximately 55% nickel and 45% titanium and are engineered to exhibit shape memory and superelastic behaviour. They apply controlled, continuous pressure to facilitate tooth alignment. Nitinol brackets are biocompatible and durable, which contributes to long‐term treatment stability. Their corrosion resistance and capacity to withstand the oral environment ensure consistent performance. The Nitinol dental brace can be adjusted to meet specific clinical requirements and permits precise tooth movement. Consequently, they are utilised in orthodontic practices internationally.

Advantages of Nitinol Dental Braces

– Conventional stainless steel wires lose tension over time. If the wire becomes lax, the orthodontist must adjust it. Using Nitinol for the archwire permits the orthodontist to conform the wire to the current configuration of the teeth. Once the wire is placed in the oral cavity, it begins to warm and attempts to revert to its original straight form.
While the Memory Wires attempt to straighten, they gradually apply pressure on the teeth. In orthodontics, tooth movement occurs gradually as a result of this pressure.
The principal advantage of Nitinol wires in orthodontics is that fewer adjustments are required over the lifetime of the dental brace.

Applications of Nitinol Dental Braces

Nitinol dental braces are employed in various orthodontic procedures, including the alignment of teeth, correction of malocclusions, orthodontic retention, space maintenance, orthognathic surgery, management of temporomandibular joint disorders and cosmetic dentistry. They can be customised in accordance with individual clinical requirements and enable accurate tooth movement, thereby assisting in the maintenance of proper occlusion.
