Whats the difference between Regular Silver and Heat Treated Stainless Steel arches?
Heat treated arches are stiffer and therefore have more force than the Regular Silver. Why are the legs on some of the Stainless Steel arches so long? Many doctors like to use the extra length for loops and steps. You can just cut off what you don’t want. The extra length is on the Progressive, Broad and Standard forms. Do you have twist wire? Yes, we have 3-Strand on a spool or in arch forms. We have 6-Strand arches and 7-Strand on a spool. We also have 8-Strand braided (rectangular) Stainless Steel arches. What can you use if your patient is allergic to Nickel? Our Beta BlueTM arches and straight lengths are nickel free. Do the colors on the molded ligature ties match the chain colors? Yes Do the colors on your ties and chain fade? There will be some fading with all polyurethane products. We have found that the darker colors fade less than the lighter ones. Why is your wire so inexpensive? Highland Metals Inc. is a manufacturer of NiTi and other alloy wires. We sell direct to doctors
