What is the difference between Super Elastic NiTi Arch Wire and Thermally Activated NiTi Arch Wire?
Super Elastic NiTi Arch Wire or called Austenitic NiTi Arch Wire, with excellent elasticity and low stiffness, the wire offer gentle corrective force which is continuous and stable from the begining to the end of the orthodontic operation. Thermally Activated NiTi Arch Wire or called Shape Memory NiTi Arch Wire, Martensitic NiTi Arch Wire. Paralleled with Super Elastic NiTi Arch Wire, it is soft and can be deformed at room temperature(around 25 ) or a lower temperature, when the temperature up to a certain temperature(around 32 ) or higher, the thermally activated wire will return its original shape, thus take on its characteristic of shape memory and super elastic. As a result of this characteristic, the wire can be easily shaped and applied into brackets at room temperature or lower temperature, then after activated by body temperature, it start to provide recovery force. What is the difference between NiTi wire and Smart-TMATM Wire? TMA means Titanium Molybdenum Alloy, so it does no
