Orthodontic wire is the active component of braces, applying precise, continuous force to move teeth into proper alignment. Think of brackets as wheels—the wire is the engine that drives movement. These wires are made from specialized alloys designed to store and release energy gradually, guiding teeth over time.
Orthodontic wires are typically categorized by material: Stainless Steel: Strong and stiff, ideal for controlled force. Nickel-Titanium (NiTi): Offers shape memory and superelasticity, perfect for initial stages. Beta-Titanium (TMA): Bendable and weldable, used in intermediate and finishing phases.
As an orthodontic supplier, NIC Dental offers high-performance orthodontic solutions to suit different stages of treatment. We have a wide range of orthodontic wires made from different materials, including NiTi archwires, stainless steel archwires, and Cu-NiTi wires. You can also find dental ceramic brackets, passive self-ligating brackets, and other accessories like closed coil springs here. Partner with NIC Dental, and bring trusted endodontic and orthodontic solutions to your market.
Which Is Better, NiTi or Stainless Steel Archwire?
Choosing between NiTi and stainless steel archwires depends on the specific treatment stage and clinical goals—not which one is “better” overall. Here’s a quick comparison:
NiTi Archwires Ideal for the initial phase of treatment, NiTi wires offer superelasticity, shape memory, and gentle continuous force, making them perfect for aligning crowded teeth. However, they are hard to bend and provide less torque control. Stainless Steel Archwires Best for later treatment stages, stainless steel wires are rigid, formable, and allow precise control of tooth position. They are also more cost-effective, but not suitable for early alignment due to their stiffness. Conclusion: NiTi is great for gentle alignment, while stainless steel is ideal for detailed finishing. At NIC Dental, we supply both the NiTi reverse curve archwires and stainless steel archwires. Looking to expand your dental product portfolio with trusted and certified instruments?

How to Choose the Right Orthodontic Wire You Need?
NIC Dental offers a diverse range of orthodontic archwires designed for various clinical needs, including NiTi orthodontic wires and stainless steel orthodontic wires. Find out the characteristics of our different braces wires so you can make the sensible choice:
S.S. Preformed archwires ensure rigid control and precise tooth positioning.
Reverse Curve archwires are effective for opening occlusion by adjusting the lower anterior. Lingual Super-Elastic archwires are lingual arch wires shaped for lingual brackets and provide stable force for leveling. CuNiTi Super-Elastic archwires offer sustained corrective force with minimal loading-unloading force difference. Coated archwires enhance aesthetics when used with ceramic brackets. Heat-activated archwires utilize temperature transition for micro-corrective force. Super-elastic archwires deliver lasting, stable force for dental alignment.At NIC Dental, we offer a wide range of clinically proven instruments and a strong commitment to long-term partnership. If you are a dental product distributor seeking reliable, high-quality endodontic solutions, we welcome the opportunity to work with you.
