Elgiloy Wire Orthodontic Archwire Sizes 16x22 17x25 18x25 19x25 For Braces Treatment

Product Description

Elgiloy wire is a premium cobalt chromium alloy archwire specifically engineered for orthodontic applications. Renowned for its exceptional set resistance and fatigue resistance, it outperforms traditional stainless steel wires by delivering up to 20% more spring force while maintaining superior corrosion resistance. This non magnetic wire is available in multiple tempers (Blue, Yellow, Green, Red) and a variety of sizes, offering orthodontists unparalleled control and flexibility in treatment planning. Manufactured in Hangzhou, China, our Elgiloy wires ensure consistent quality for creating efficient and durable orthodontic appliances.

People Also Ask: What is Elgiloy Wire Used For?

Elgiloy wire is primarily used in orthodontics to fabricate custom archwires, coil springs, lingual arches, retainers, and other appliances that require precise, long lasting force application. Its unique ability to be used in a soft state for easy forming and then heat treated to achieve high resilience makes it a versatile choice for complex cases.

Detailed Product Overview

Elgiloy is a patented cobalt based alloy, not a stainless steel, that sets the standard for performance in orthodontic wires. Its composition, including cobalt, chromium, and nickel, grants it outstanding physical properties. Orthodontists value Elgiloy for its exceptional spring efficiency and longevity, meaning appliances maintain their corrective force longer with less distortion or fatigue compared to other wires. It is ideal for demanding applications where reliability and precision are critical.

Key Advantages for Orthodontists

• Superior Longevity: Functions as a resilient spring wire for longer periods without distortion.

• Enhanced Control: Can be used as furnished or heat treated to increase spring properties, offering flexibility in clinical technique.

• Excellent Formability: Softer tempers allow for easy bending and shaping before optional heat treatment.

• Corrosion Resistance: Highly resistant to corrosion in the oral environment.

• Simple Processing: Easy to solder and can be polished electrolytically for a smooth finish.
