Archwires are the backbone of fixed orthodontic therapy, serving as the primary force-delivering component in tooth movement. Their evolution-from early precious metal alloys to advanced nanotechnology wires-has revolutionized treatment efficiency, biomechanics, and patient comfort. This book provides a comprehensive overview of archwire materials, properties, designs, and clinical applications, highlighting their role in alignment, space closure, torque control, and finishing. It also discusses innovations in surface coatings, shape-memory alloys, and customized digital solutions, offering readers both scientific foundations and practical insights.
