Wire is the key player in the movement of teeth, so choosing the right wire is critical for successful treatment. ODP offers a full range of wire types, arch forms, sizes, and force values that are designed to reduce treatment time, minimize chair time, maximize patient comfort, and produce optimal treatment results.

3-Point Bend Test

T E s T I N g E N s U R E s H I g H q UA L I Ty

During the three-point bend test, a load cell is brought into contact with a segment of wire and deflected in accordance with the Wire Standard. Measurements are taken of the loading (engagement force) and unloading (tooth-moving) forces at prescribed intervals.

Etched center marks designate upper or lower arch. Three (3) lines indicate an upper arch form and a single (1) line indicates a lower arch form.

Our dimpled archwires are designed with a permanent midline notch that prevents the wire from drifting during treatment.

Three-Point Deflection Testing to Measure Force Value

The Ultimate in Quality Orthodontic ArchwiresWe believe that archwires are the single most important material choice that an orthodontist can make. Even the most sophisticated bracket systems will not perform adequately when paired with poor quality archwires. Poor wire performance inevitably leads to inefficiency, extended chair and treatment times, and frustration for patients and clinical staff. This is why we say, nothing is more expensive than cheap archwires!

In that regard, we ensure that all of our products are tested to meet our exact parameters. Within a controlled environment, three-point bend tests are perfomed to determine loading and unloading forces, as well as per-manent set data for our orthodontic wires and springs.

The load (engagement) forces are those you feel when placing the archwire into the bracket slot. They are the higher forces at the top of the load curve.

The unload (tooth moving) forces are those imparted to the dentition. They are the lower levels of force that occur as the wire rebounds to its original shape.

ODP archwires will exhibit very level and consistent load and unload curves so that the wire will deliver constant and predict-able forces throughout the range of activation.
