High-Tech Low Force Wires for Increased Patient Comfort
Once the braces are placed, the force needed to move the teeth is provided by the archwires. Our super-elastic, nickel titanium wires (BioForce®) provide optimal force to move teeth with minimal discomfort. These wires are “activated” by a patient’s body heat to provide continuous force over a longer period of time. This allows us to see our patients at 6-14 week intervals instead of every 3-6 weeks as with traditional orthodontics. Also, BioForce® wires have a special coating which reduces friction resulting in faster, more comfortable tooth movement. Our practice continues to invest in advanced technology such as BioForce® archwires to provide our patients with high quality, comfortable orthodontic care.
