Estimation of force produced by nickel-titanium superelastic archwires at large deflections.
A method for estimating the absolute values of forces produced by nickel-titanium orthodontic wires at superelastic deformations is proposed. The method is based on both the elasticity theory and the experimental bending tests for the nickel-titanium wires. Forces for a number of nickel-titanium wires are calculated by this method.
