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.

8-Braid
Ultimate's 8-Braid wires are made of eight fine, equal-sized Type 302SS wires braided tightly and rolled to the most popular square and rectangle wire sizes. 8-Braid Stainless Steel archwires combine high resiliency and low tooth-moving forces. Best for early and late treatment stages.
- 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.
