Comparison of force delivery of thermally activated aesthetic and non-aesthetic Ni-Ti wires: An in-vitro study.

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the force of aesthetic wires and their non-aesthetic equivalents from two commercial brands at different displacement points, during the unloading phase at 36°C.

Materials And Methods: Forty samples (n=10) were assessed, which were presented in two groups of aesthetic wires and two groups of non-aesthetic wires from the brands GAC® (Dentsply GAC® International, NY, USA) and Aditek®(Cravinhos, SP, Brazil), with 0.016-inch gauge.
