TMA Broad Archwire Round .018 Upper Small

Ormco helped develop the original Beta Titanium wire more than two decades ago. Over the years, Ormco refined the TMA manufacturing process to a science, delivering the TMA brand of Beta Titanium wire that remains the industry standard for consistency and quality.

With half the force but twice the working range of stainless steel, TMA is indicated for all stages of treatment. Its intermediate stiffness between stainless steel and nickel-titanium memory alloys makes it especially beneficial as a main working archwire. TMA offers good flexibility, springback characteristics, and predictable forces for consistent control.

• Initial Stage: TMA is recommended for tooth alignment, space closure, and Curve of Spee correction. Ormco also offers preformed Reverse Curve TMA and Reverse Curve TMA with “T” Loops.
• Intermediate Stage: TMA is recommended for early torque control with moderate forces. It also provides complete manipulation of the wire for dimensional control. Ideal for retraction arches, TMA exerts constant moderate forces over a longer period.
• Final Stage: TMA is used as a detailing wire with moderate force.
