In this subcategory, you’ll find beta titanium (TMA) wires that occupy an intermediate position between NiTi and stainless steel. Beta titanium archwires help you gently increase control over tooth movement without jumping straight into very rigid mechanics. This is an optimal choice for clinicians who want to build biomechanics in stages and always have reliable TMA archwires on hand for cases where a balance between force and comfort is essential. Here you can easily assemble a working set of beta titanium arch wires for braces tailored to your standard treatment protocols.

What are beta titanium archwires and when do you need them?

Beta titanium is a material that sits between nickel-titanium and stainless steel in terms of its properties. Orthodontic beta titanium archwires deliver softer forces than steel wires while providing significantly more control than classic NiTi.

Orthodontic TMA archwires are used in intermediate stages of treatment when you have moved beyond rough alignment with NiTi but are not yet ready to switch to fully rigid steel. TMA orthodontic wires allow you to gradually increase control of torque and rotations while maintaining an acceptable load for the patient and periodontium.

Key clinical properties of TMA archwires

Choosing a beta titanium wire is often about needing both control and gentle forces at the same time. Below are the main properties that make these wires a practical tool in everyday orthodontic practice.

Flexible beta titanium archwires - gentle forces with reliable control

Flexible beta titanium archwires provide smooth, low-intensity forces that are comfortable for the patient yet controlled enough to execute your planned biomechanics. These wires are well suited for patients with increased sensitivity, for cases with a higher risk of periodontal overload, and in situations where low force TMA archwires let you continue treatment without a sharp increase in force after NiTi.

Beta titanium rectangular archwires for torque and detailing

When you want more control over root position but are not ready to go directly to a stiff steel wire, beta titanium rectangular archwires become a natural choice. Rectangular sizes such as 0.017×0.025 TMA archwire or 0.019×0.025 beta titanium archwire help fill the bracket slot more completely and allow you to express torque and rotations more fully, while still offering a softer force profile than steel. This is convenient in intermediate and pre-finishing stages, when control is crucial but you still want to work gently.

Beta titanium round archwires for transition stages

Beta titanium round archwires are often used as a transition option between round NiTi wires and rectangular steel wires. They offer a familiar “soft” feel for the patient but provide more control than classic NiTi. These wires are useful when crowding has been partially resolved, but you are not yet ready for a major increase in stiffness.

Clinical indications for using TMA archwires

Intermediate stage beta titanium archwires are especially helpful in mid-treatment phases where NiTi no longer gives enough control, and stainless steel may feel excessively rigid.

TMA orthodontic wires are typically selected when:

• you need more control but want to maintain gentle, continuous forces;
• the patient has a sensitive periodontium or reduced tolerance to load;
• you want a smoother transition between NiTi and steel mechanics;
• you need additional detailing without switching to aggressive mechanics.

An additional advantage is that many clinicians consider nickel-free TMA archwires as an option for patients with nickel sensitivity, when you want to move away from NiTi but still keep high manageability and comfort.

FAQ: choosing and using beta titanium archwires

When does it make sense to switch from NiTi to TMA?
Typically, beta titanium archwires are used after the main alignment tasks have been managed with NiTi archwires. As soon as you need more control over tooth position but don’t want a sharp increase in stiffness, it makes sense to transition to TMA archwires.

In which cases are TMA wires preferable to stainless steel?
Orthodontic TMA archwires are preferable when you need both control and gentle force: in patients with sensitive periodontium, in situations where you are concerned about overload, or at stages where you need control but a “full steel finish” would be premature. For final detailing when you’re ready for a fully rigid approach, you can transition to stainless steel archwires.

Which beta titanium arch wires for braces should be kept in a core inventory?
Most practices include several key rectangular sizes in their base inventory, such as 0.017×0.025 TMA archwire and 0.019×0.025 beta titanium archwire, plus one or two round sizes for transition stages. The exact set depends on your protocols and the bracket systems you use - whether you work primarily with metal brackets or ceramic brackets.

Are TMA archwires suitable for nickel-sensitive patients?
Yes, many clinicians consider nickel-free TMA archwires as an alternative to NiTi for patients with nickel sensitivity. This allows you to move away from nickel-containing wires while still benefiting from controlled forces and predictable clinical outcomes.
