title: [Properies of orthodontic wires in simulated teeth alignment test]
abstract: In this study,methods were developed to test and compare leveling archwires that commonly used in domestic practice.The results showed that the stainless steel arch wires were stiff.The Ni-Ti wires and the wires with loops were flexible and could deliver more constant force.The 0.014 Chinese Ni-Ti wires demonstrated the superelastic property,but 0.016 Ni-Ti wire did not appear the same property before they generated 250g force.
