3 SUPERELASTIC NiTi ARCHES Try our SuperElas c NiTi Arches, featuring light, con nuous force levels for more efficient tooth movement with maximum pa ent comfort. Unlike stainless steel alterna ves, the light, comfortable forces generated by our austeni c, bendable NiTi arches remain constant during tooth movement, reducing chair me with fewer wire changes. NiTi Regular 10 pack and 100 pack Progressive, Natural, Broad, Standard, Youth x.014 x x x (10 Pack Only).021 x x (10 Pack Only) and 100 Use our Natural Mid-Size form for more treatment flexibility DAMON ARCH form compa ble = Progressive XL (Damon and Damon SL are trade names for SDS, Ormco, and Sybron Dental Special es.) Try our best-selling Heat Ac vated NiTi Arches, featuring lower force levels than our SuperElas c NiTi, ensuring maximum pa ent comfort while delivering op mal, more efficient tooth movement. So and pliable at room temperature, our copper-free, easy to bend Heat Ac vated NiTi reacts to heat in the pa ent s mouth, exer ng a gentle, con nuous force as it returns to its original shape for superior treatment results. Gentle force delivery allows larger wires to be engaged earlier in treatment for early torque control with minimum pa ent discomfort. For example, a rectangular Heat Ac vated NiTi arch has approximately the same force as a round SuperElas c NiTi arch. and HEAT ACTIVATED NiTi ARCHES Rectangular:.014 x.025 x x x.020 (Natural and Progressive only) Helpful Hint: For the most complete activation force, Highland recommends chilling your Heat Activated NiTi wire. Without the chilling process, wires placed in crowded locations with tight bends may not be fully activated and may not move teeth as desired. Your best disposable activator is a Q-TIP! 1. Simply moisten a tray of swabs with water and put them in your freezer 2. Once frozen, each can be used for softening and engaging a patient s Heat Activated wire! 3. Apply the frozen Q-TIP to the archwire as you bend it to easily engage the bracket. Q-TIP is a registered trademark of Cheesebrough-Ponds USA. All Highland wires proudly manufactured in the USA. 3

4 NiTi REVERSE CURVES AND INTRUSION ARCHES Our widely used NiTi Reverse Curves combine the light, con nuous force levels of SuperElas c NiTi with the benefits of a reverse curve. Counter unwanted tooth movement while maintaining arch consolida on and expansion. (Available in Natural and Progressive forms) Our NiTi Intrusion Arches feature a curved anterior and flat posterior for intrusion or extrusion of anterior teeth. Made with long, straight legs, Intrusion arches can be used to maintain the molars upright while you use auxiliary or NiTi retrac on springs for the premolars. (Available in Natural form) Rectangular:.014 x.020 Straight Leg Intrusion Arch Reverse Curve Arch HEAT ACTIVATED REVERSE CURVES Heat Ac vated NiTi Reverse Curves Gently return to the curve of spee at body temperature, ensuring maximum pa ent comfort while delivering light, con nuous forces for op mal tooth movement. So at room temperature, this wire is easy to bend for painless liga on. Available in Progressive and Natural forms Rectangular: x HIGH TORQUE NiTi ARCHES High Torque NiTi Arches is combined with the light, con nuous force levels of SuperElas c NiTi with the benefits of built in torque. This wire is pre-torqued to 35, making it the wire of choice when the forces of Stainless Steel are too high and the forces of NiTi are too slow or ineffec ve. Engaging the arch requires you to increase the stress levels, thus genera ng higher, but gentle torquing forces to the anterior. Use two bird-beak pliers to eliminate unwanted posterior torque. Available in Progressive, Natural, and Broad (U/L) Regular Elas c, Super Elas c, or Heat Ac vated.

5 NiTi ON A SPOOL Available in 15 ft spools Regular Force NiTi on a Spool Superior formability and shape memory and can be formed into custom arches. Since it comes off the spool arrow-straight, many prac oners like to use it as an ini al archwire; it s best to use a smaller diameter wire for this applica on to avoid molar expansion. High Force NiTi on a Spool 7% more force than Regular Force NiTi archwire. It comes off the spool arrowstraight and is bendable to your arch form. sizes:.012,.014,,,.020 sizes:.012,.014,,,.020 Heat Ac vated NiTi on a Spool Provides gentle leveling and expansion forces for your ini al archwire and can quickly and comfortably pull teeth straighter (for teeth that are lted inward). It comes off the spool so, with a slight round bend and straightens when ac vated. Ul mate Control NiTi on a Spool Force levels that are approximately 200% greater than Regular Force NiTi and 70% lower than Stainless Steel for ul mate treatment flexibility in hard-to-treat cases. You can bend this very resilient wire with tradi onal instruments using plas c deforma on, or use heat to create your own arch forms for specialty springs.
