Copper Nickel Titanium Wire

Our new Copper Nickel Titanium wire is the latest
innovation in our extensive arch wire offering. The
addition of copper alloy to the wire allows lower
loading forces and more consistent unloading
TM
forces, without permanently deforming the wire.

EFFECTIVE LOADING / UNLOADING FORCES
Tanzo provides a moderate loading force with a responsiveness to chilling,
which eases engagement into brackets. Light to moderate unloading force delivers predictable results and excellent patient comfort.

and lower wire inventories.
