Can you bend NiTi wire?

Can you bend NiTi wire?

This is a simple and efficient method for bending NiTi wires. These wires have low force delivery; an ideal of the tooth movement during treatment. This article describes a simple and cost‑effective technique for bending NiTi wire chairside or in labs without losing its property of springback.

How do you cinch a NiTi wire?

The procedures are as follows:

1. Place the NiTi wire with approximately 1cm excess distal. to molar tube (Fig. 1).
2. Hold the wire at distal most part with Weingart plier. (Fig. 2) and pull the wire in gingival and mesial direction. (Yellow arrows—Figs 2 and 3) forcefully.
3. Cut the wire between these bends (Yellow arrows—Figs.

What is a NiTi wire?

What is cinch back in orthodontics?

CINCH BACK. Description: Used to bend metal strips or wire used in orthodontic work for closing arches or cinch down a wire. Use on round or rectangular wire.

Is NiTi magnetic?

NiTi structure is characterized by X-ray diffraction, particularly in relation to its strain state. It is found that magnetic susceptibility depends on particular trends in NiTi lattice parameters induced by tensile strain.

What is archwire made of?

Orthodontic archwires may be fabricated from several alloys, most commonly stainless steel, nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi), and beta-titanium alloy (composed primarily of titanium and molybdenum).

What is the key to bending wire evenly?

Use a block of wood to ensure even bending. Check the angle of the wire with a square. Another option would be to make yourself a jig for checking the wire for 90 degree angles. The simplest method to make one of these is to drill 2 crossing holes through a piece of wood.
