BioEdge e= Bio Edge shares the same body heat activated, true Superelasticity as our Initialloy, but offers it in either Square or Rectangular gauges. No matter what size, Bio Edge only delivers the amount of force you choose. That means whether it is .016"x.016" or .021"X.028", if 200 grams of force is selected, then they both deliver the same 200 grams of force when deflected. That's the Bio Edge. Some archwires are available with a «Dimple». Then, a letter D appears in the P/N.

BioActive \m\ ^ Bio Active takes NiTi wire technology to a whole other level. Not just heat activated, body heat activated. Not just low constant force, but True Superelasticity. And not just body heat activated force that remains constant over the full amount of time it is deflected, but progressive force from mid-line to posterior. That's right, each segment of the arch receives its own specific level of force throughout the same archform. That means a larger wire gauge can be used earlier and less wire changes are required over the course of treatment. Bio Active is NiTi efficiency at its...

Variable levels of force, or complete force diminishment in general can be just as problematic during treatment as non-compliance. That is why the same Body Heat activated, True Superelastic properties that are used in the manufacture of Initialloy wires are also used in Initialloy Coil Springs. As a result, you can have the confidence in knowing that the forces you choose will be exerted constantly and consistently throughout the entire period of deflection. This type of efficiency and performance is not readily available in other springs. Initialloy Stop Wound Open Springs These springs are...

Titanium-Molybdenum Archwires (Beta Titanium) Wire breakage is a time consuming and costly occurrence that effects your reputation, the efficiency of your practice, and your bottom line. GCOA's Beta Titanium archwires, however, greatly reduce this risk often inherent in other Beta Titanium archwires by processing them in smaller batches allowing for tighter quality control measures. Tests show that GCOA offers Beta Titanium wire with greater bendability, smoother surfaces, and less breakage. So relax while our Beta Titanium takes on the stress of the working phase of your case with ease.
