Pre-Stopped Archwires, Dimples, and Cinch Back Bends
The possibility of nickel titanium archwires slipping through brackets and migrating around the arch has long been recognized. Cinch back bends are difficult to apply & retain in Nickel Titanium and dimple offsets at the mid-line have been the conventional solution to the problem.
We have another solution!
Our pre-stopped nickel titanium archwires, especially popular with self-ligating bracket systems, come pre-loaded with properly tempered crimpable stops. They are friction fit on the wire so they may be slid into position easily, a final crimp is applied to set them permanently.
Available in G4â„¢ Nickel Titanium and M5â„¢ Thermal Nickel Titanium.
Clinical Tip: Stops can be positioned anywhere on the archwire, but are generally crimped mesial to anterior crowding.
