Stainless Steel Multi-Strand

3-Strand

Ultimate's 3-Strand wires are made of three equal-sized medical grade Type 302SS wires twisted into a single, fine wire to provide moderate tooth-moving forces. Three-Strand Stainless Steel archwires are best-suited for initial alignment and the finishing stage of treatment.

• Bright surface finish.
• Moderate force, but drops quickly as teeth move.
• Moderate resiliency; measurably better than Solid Stainless Steel wire.

Arch Forms	STD and NAT. (3-Strand Stainless Steel wire is also available in 14 inch lengths and 30 foot spools.)
Forces	See Our Support section for force graphs.
Wire Sizes	Round:	.0155   .0175   .0195   .0215
	Square:	.016 x .016
	Rectangle:	.016 x .022   .017 x .025   .018 x .025   .019 x .025

Coax (6-Strand)

Coax wire is made of five equal-size wires wrapped around a single, same-size core wire. Manufactured of high quality medical grade Type 302SS. Offers low to moderate forces and relatively good resiliency. Appropriate for use in early or late treatment stages.

• Bright finish.
• Low to moderate forces.
• Good for initial alignment.
• Relatively good resiliency.
• Short activation time, as forces drop quickly as teeth move.

Arch Forms	STD and NAT. (Coax Stainless Steel wire is also available in 14 inch lengths and 30 foot spools.)

• High resiliency.
• Easy to ligate.
• Low forces.
• Does not fray when cut.
• Great for aligning and for finishing.
• Rectangle wires can be used for added torque control.
