Archwire
When braces are put on the teeth, the orthodontist uses an archwire, connected to brackets adhered to the teeth, to help guide their movement along the jaw. An archwire can also be used to maintain the existing position of your teeth. Orthodontic archwires are typically made from a metal alloy, strong enough to withstand the forces used by the orthodontist to maneuver teeth into their desired new positions.
While most archwires are pre-formed to make an approximate fit, the SureSmile system features archwire technology that is a prescription-fit for every individual patient. A SureSmile archwire is made from our signature metal alloy, shaped according to your doctor’s orders in our exclusive robotic process. This gives each archwire a customized fit, expertly bent into the perfect shape prescribed for your unique mouth. This special process gives every patient precision-shaped archwires that deliver the optimum amount of force—creating faster, more directly targeted results than conventional methods.
