Smarter Alloys
SmartArch orthodontic archwire is engineered with force-optimized biomechanics across the entire arch. It's the first archwire with a stiffness profile tuned for root support and interbracket spacing to express ideal forces for optimal biological response of each tooth.

One SmartArch wire replaces working wire progressions typically used for first- and second-order corrections. Designed to fit within your workflow, SmartArch is compatible with the systems you currently use and doesn't require special equipment or training.
