Orthodontic Bracket Wire

Orthodontic Bracket Wire

AMETEK Specialty Metal Products has been a leader in the development of orthodontic wire products for use in orthodontic brackets for more than 20 years. Whether you need orthodontic wires for a new design process to increase torque strength in orthodontic brackets, or support for a customized shaped wire project, our engineers are ready to work with you to ensure success.

Advantages

As a world class dental orthodontic wire manufacturer, we deliver custom wire shapes, custom wire alloys and precise sizes. Our shaped wire products deliver major advantages for a range orthodontic arch wire types including:
  • Superior dimensional control for precision bracket geometries that reduce occlusal interference and improve patient comfort
  • Tightly controlled alloy purity, consistency and composition for improved performance
  • Improved die wear, formability and platability
  • Highly customized materials enable increased torque strength
  • Biocompatible, lightweight and corrosion resistant alloys

Alloys

We supply wire materials for metal ortho brackets in a range of high performance, corrosion resistant and lightweight alloys including orthodontic stainless steel wire. Our portfolio consists of:
  • Stainless steel wire including alloy 450
  • Copper wire
  • Aluminium wire
  • Nickel alloys such as MP35N
  • Nickel-iron wire
  • Carbon steel wire
In addition to standard alloys, our metallurgists can work alongside you to develop custom product specifications.

Sizes

As a leading orthodontic arch wire manufacturer, we engineer orthodontic wire sizes down to 0.005” (0.127mm) dependent on shapes and materials.

In many cases where a new design is not necessary, we can offer standard off-the-shelf products with quicker lead-times and lower cost.

Approved by Major Orthodontic OEMs

We are proud to collaborate with leading orthodontic OEMs globally to produce 450 stainless steel wire for orthodontic brackets. Our sister company, Hamilton Precision Metals, engineers self-ligating brackets using MP35N®. Together, we provide the highest quality materials for complete brace sets, ensuring superior performance and reliability.
