The Orthometric Stainless Steel 8-Strand Braided Archwires are rectangular archwires made of eight fine stainless steel strands braided together. The braided construction gives the wire more flexibility and lighter forces than a solid wire of the same size, while the rectangular section engages the slot for torque control.
Key Features
Eight braided stainless steel strands in a rectangular section
Greater flexibility and lighter forces than a solid steel wire of the same dimension
Rectangular section that engages the slot for early torque and rotational control
Five rectangular sizes, from .016″ × .022″ to .021″ × .025″
Available for the upper or lower arch

Why Braided?
Eight fine strands let the wire fill the slot like a rectangular wire while delivering lighter, more forgiving forces — useful when torque control is needed before the case is ready for a stiffer wire.
