3M Unitek Beta III Titanium Archwire, .017x.025, OrthoForm II Square, Upper, 4301-308, Unit of Use, 10/Pk

Description:

The 3M Unitek Beta III Titanium Archwire is an orthodontic archwire designed for use in fixed orthodontic treatment to support controlled tooth movement, alignment, arch coordination, and finishing procedures. This product features a .017 x .025 inch rectangular cross-section, an OrthoForm II Square arch form, and an upper-arch configuration. Manufactured from beta titanium, the archwire provides a useful balance of flexibility, springback, and mechanical control for selected stages of orthodontic treatment. Beta titanium is commonly used in orthodontic applications where a combination of flexibility and dimensional control is desired. Compared with more rigid wire materials, beta titanium can provide greater flexibility while still offering useful force and control characteristics. The material can also be adjusted and shaped by qualified orthodontic professionals when specific treatment mechanics require customized bends or modifications. The .017 x .025 inch rectangular cross-section provides increased dimensional stability and bracket engagement compared with smaller or round archwire configurations. The rectangular profile can assist with control of tooth positioning and provide greater engagement with orthodontic brackets when used at the appropriate stage of treatment. This wire dimension may be selected when the clinician requires a combination of controlled force delivery, flexibility, and mechanical control. Wire selection should always be based on the patient's individual clinical requirements and the orthodontist's treatment plan. The OrthoForm II Square arch form provides a standardized configuration intended for the upper dental arch. A consistent arch form can assist orthodontic professionals in selecting an archwire that corresponds with the planned dental arch shape and treatment objectives. The upper designation indicates that this archwire is intended for use in the maxillary arch. The 3M Unitek Beta III Titanium Archwire is supplied as a Unit of Use package containing 10 archwires per pack. The packaging format provides multiple archwires for professional orthodontic procedures and treatment applications. Archwire selection, placement, adjustment, and replacement should be performed by appropriately qualified dental or orthodontic professionals according to the patient's dental condition, appliance system, treatment stage, and prescribed treatment plan. Overall, the 3M Unitek Beta III Titanium Archwire combines beta titanium construction, a .017 x .025 inch rectangular profile, and an OrthoForm II Square upper arch configuration. Its balance of flexibility and mechanical control provides an orthodontic archwire option for selected stages of fixed orthodontic treatment, including tooth positioning, arch coordination, and finishing procedures where controlled force and the ability to make clinical adjustments may be beneficial.
