What is i-Arch?
i-Arch is a unique and innovative system of orthodontic archwires, developed from years of research at SIA Orthodontic Manufacturer. i-Arch enables a highly innovative, effective, easy, compatible, and biological orthodontic approach. Its effectiveness is due to the use, from the alignment and leveling stage, of rectangular archwires with immediate torque delivery. Its ease of use comes from the reduced number of wires—only 3—to be used. Its compatibility is ensured by the possibility of use with any straight-wire prescription. Its biological compatibility is ensured by the use of very gentle forces (from 40g), reducing the traumatic effects—especially at the beginning—of orthodontic treatment.
Benefits:
- The immediate torque delivery allows reduction of treatment time and effective three-dimensional control of tooth movement from the beginning of treatment.
- Effectiveness in obtaining the increase in size of the arch.
- Patient pain reduction.
- Bone damage reduction, mainly at the level of the vestibular cortical.
- Easy clinical protocol that results in shorter chair time and a lower stock of archwires.
Features:
- Size of the two sections switched compared to conventional archwires.
- Very light forces.
- Ease of use, thanks to the reduced number of archwires per treatment.
- Compatible with any straight-wire prescription, as long as with slot 0.018”.
Archwire Sequence:
- i-Arch 0.016”x0.014” Copper Ni-Ti Thermal as first archwire to obtain alignment, leveling, and torque delivery.
- i-Arch 0.018”x0.014” Superelastic as second archwire for the form of the arch and the sliding mechanics.
- i-Arch 0.016”x0.016” Titanium as final archwire to complete the form of the arch, for the interarch mechanical, and to stabilize the results achieved.
