Unitek™ Nitinol Archwire

3M Unitek has the distinction of pioneering the incorporation of nickel titanium into the orthodontist’s wire progression plans, over two decades ago, and ranks amongst the top ten innovations in orthodontic treatment. Today, the three variations of Nitinol Arch wire - Nitinol Classic, Nitinol Heat-Activated and Nitinol Super-Elastic – represent a step ahead in line with our commitment to offer advanced arch wire products to the industry.

Unitek™ Nitinol Classic Archwire
Developed as an alternative to stainless steel arch wires, the Classic Arch Wire continues to provide the linear elasticity and flexibility of high strength steel as well as the elastic working range and delicate force, characteristic of nickel titanium.

Unitek™ Nitinol Heat-Activated Archwire
A thermally activated super-elastic arch wire, the Unitek Nitinol Heat-Activated Arch Wire is the easiest of Nitinol wires to engage and delivers light continuous forces that effectively move teeth.

Unitek™ Nitinol Super-Elastic Archwire
Unitek Nitinol Super-Elastic Arch Wire is easy to engage and maintains light continuous forces in a range between Nitinol Heat-Activated and Nitinol Classic.
