Comparison of force delivery of thermally activated aesthetic and non-aesthetic Ni-Ti wires: An in-vitro study

ConclusionIt is concluded that during the unloading phase at a temperature of 36 °C, the orthodontic archwires analyzed did not show significant difference in force between thermally activated wires with aesthetic coating and their non-aesthetic equivalents at most displacement points analysed, except for the deflection of 2.5 mm, which showed higher values.
