Do Mechanical and Physicochemical Properties of Orthodontic NiTi Wires Remain Stable In Vivo?

Introduction and Aim. Exceptional properties of the NiTi archwires may be jeopardized by the oral cavity; thus its long-term effect on the mechanical and physiochemical properties of NiTi archwires was the aim of work. Material and Methods. Study group comprised sixty 0.016 × 0.022 NiTi archwires fr...
