In this subcategory, you’ll find nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires, which remain the “gold standard” for initial and early intermediate stages of orthodontic treatment in 2026. The NiTi Archwires section is designed for clinicians who perform alignment and early leveling every day, relying on gentle, continuous forces. Here you can select NiTi orthodontic archwires for different clinical situations and build a stable inventory of NiTi archwires for braces, so the right starting wires are always available chairside. Having a dedicated NiTi category lets you focus specifically on nickel-titanium wires without being distracted by steel or TMA options, and keeps you in full control of the crucial initial alignment phase.

The role of NiTi orthodontic archwires in early treatment stages

In the first phase of treatment, the main goal is to gently align teeth, relieve crowding, and bring all teeth into the arch with minimal discomfort for the patient. This is where NiTi orthodontic archwires and nickel titanium archwires are especially relevant: they provide gentle, continuous forces and are well tolerated by patients.

Initial NiTi archwires for alignment help you start treatment more predictably: the wire tends to return to its original shape, gradually leveling the arch. Flexible NiTi orthodontic archwires help reduce the risk of overloading the periodontium and roots, which is particularly important in severe crowding or in patients with sensitive tissues.

A dedicated NiTi category also means you can quickly find a wire that matches the current stage: from the softest options for the very beginning to more controlled NiTi wires for transition toward the next level of force and control.

Main types of NiTi archwires and their properties

The NiTi Archwires section includes different variations of nickel-titanium wires so that you can adapt your biomechanics to the specific clinical task.

Superelastic NiTi archwires for continuous gentle forces

Superelastic NiTi archwires are the classic choice for initial alignment. They deliver an almost constant force over a wide range of activation, which is especially useful in cases with significant crowding and tooth rotation. These flexible NiTi orthodontic archwires are often used as the very first wires after bracket placement, when you need to “start” tooth movement smoothly and in a controlled manner.

Heat activated NiTi archwires for a more comfortable start

Heat activated NiTi archwires become fully active at oral temperature and may feel softer at room temperature. This makes them particularly attractive for patients with low pain tolerance or for those for whom you want the most comfortable possible start to treatment.

These wires allow you to gradually ramp up force as the wire reaches body temperature, which helps reduce complaints of discomfort in the first days after placement. For patients who benefit from this softer activation profile, you can explore our heat-activated NiTi archwires line.

Copper NiTi archwires with enhanced force control

Copper NiTi archwires complement classic NiTi with improved force control and more stable performance across a wider temperature range. This helps you manage the load on teeth more precisely over the entire interval between visits. These wires are convenient when you want a bit more control while still staying firmly within NiTi-based biomechanics.

NiTi wire shapes and cross-sections

Not only the material, but also the cross-sectional shape of the wire influences clinical outcomes. In this category, you’ll find both round and rectangular NiTi archwires.

Round NiTi orthodontic archwires for alignment and reduced friction

Round NiTi orthodontic archwires are the primary tool for initial alignment. Their round cross-section reduces friction in the bracket wire system and makes it easier to bring teeth into the arch with gentler forces. These wires are typically used first, when you’re just beginning tooth movement and want the softest possible mechanics.

Rectangular NiTi orthodontic archwires for increased control

As you transition from rough alignment to a more controlled phase, rectangular NiTi orthodontic archwires can become useful. Rectangular cross-sections fill the bracket slot more completely and allow you to gradually increase control over tooth position, preparing the system for subsequent transition to beta titanium (TMA) archwires or stainless steel archwires. This is a logical intermediate step between “pure alignment” and fully rigid mechanics.

Buy NiTi archwires online at Orthazone

Ordering online saves time for both doctors and staff. In the NiTi Archwires section, you can buy NiTi archwires online in just a few steps: choose the NiTi type (superelastic, heat-activated, copper NiTi), the cross-section (round or rectangular), the size and archform (upper/lower), and then add the necessary products to your cart.

The NiTi orthodontic archwire supplies USA model makes it easy to align deliveries with your clinic’s schedule: you can repeat standard orders, use templates for your protocols, and reduce the risk of “we don’t have a starting NiTi wire” on the day of the appointment.

NiTi archwires wholesale for multi-chair practices

For multi-chair offices and group practices, it is especially important to order NiTi archwires wholesale in advance, based on expected patient flow and standard treatment schemes. This lets you maintain a complete set of NiTi wires on hand for every doctor in the practice.

Wholesale NiTi orthodontic archwire supplies USA help you:

• reduce per-unit costs through volume purchasing;
• plan stock replenishment months ahead;
• standardize starter and intermediate NiTi sets for the entire team;
• avoid frequent small “emergency” orders.

FAQ: choosing and using NiTi archwires

Which NiTi archwires are best for the very first stage of treatment?
Most clinicians start with initial NiTi archwires for alignment in a round cross-section. Typically, these are superelastic NiTi archwires or flexible NiTi orthodontic archwires, which provide gentle, continuous forces and help bring all teeth into active engagement gradually.

When does it make sense to move from superelastic to heat-activated or copper NiTi?
Heat activated NiTi archwires are ideal for patients with low tolerance to force or when you want the softest possible start to treatment. Copper NiTi archwires are best when you want more stable force control and predictable mechanics between visits, while still staying within the NiTi segment.

How do round NiTi and rectangular NiTi differ in clinical use?
Round NiTi orthodontic archwires are used primarily for initial alignment and to reduce friction within the system. Rectangular NiTi orthodontic archwires come into play when you need increased control over tooth position and want to prepare the system for transition to TMA or stainless steel archwires.

How can I build a core set of NiTi archwires for my clinic?
Most practices include several diameters of round NiTi orthodontic archwires for the very start, one or two sizes of rectangular NiTi orthodontic archwires for enhanced control, and a selection of in-house brand wires such as Orthazone NiTi archwires, which integrate easily with existing protocols. The exact mix depends on the bracket systems you use and your clinical preferences, but the NiTi Archwires category is designed to cover typical treatment schemes without overloading you with unnecessary SKUs.

To complete your biomechanics from initial alignment through retention, you can also explore: other archwires in this family, springs and coil springs, lingual retention wire, and wire accessories to build complete, predictable treatment setups.
