Bio-Kinetix Plus Thermally Activated Nitanium Archwires
The Bio-Kinetix Plus Archwire is ideal for early- to mid-stage treatment with moderate to severe crowding. This wire is best suited for the initial stage of treatment because it is easy to engage. Once the wire is placed, it then reacts to the heat in a patient’s mouth and exerts a light, continuous force as it returns to its original shape.Made from an advanced nickel titanium alloy, the Bio-Kinetix Plus Archwire exhibits improved resiliency resulting in an archwire that is measurably more resistant to permanent set (deformation). In addition, the advanced thermal properties found in the archwire display a narrower transformation band from martensite to austenite which gives the archwire a “crisp†response as it moves between the “soft†and “stiff†state.

Features of the Bio-Kinetix Plus Archwire:
- Forces fall directly between Bio-Kinetix Thermally Activated Nitanium Archwires and Super Elastic Nitanium Archwires
- Temperature Transition Range (TTR) = 65°- 75°F (18.3° – 23.9°C)
- Utilizes shape memory and super elastic properties to move teeth
- Excellent shape characteristics and resiliency
- Wire is slightly thermal at room temperature for easy ligation
- Responsive to chilling for easier ligation
- Has a smooth finish for minimal friction
