Orthodontic wire is a flexible metal component used within braces or other orthodontic appliances to gently apply pressure to teeth, guiding them into proper alignment over time. These wires are custom-sized for individual patients and play a key role in correcting bite issues, spacing, or tooth positioning as part of long-term orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontic wires are typically single-use devices designed for one patient’s treatment duration before disposal. They are supplied in various materials and dimensions, often as part of a larger orthodontic system, and may be regulated differently depending on their intended use and jurisdiction.
