Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the surface roughness and bonding behavior of esthetic coated archwire compared to a Niti archwire. Method: A 3 point bend test was performed to determine the bending behavior of wire samples and Atomic Force Microscopy was used to check the surface roughness of the esthetic coated NiTi wires. Results: This study shows that esthetic coated archwire has better bending behavior and less surface roughness compared to conventional Niti archwire. Conclusion: In conclusion, Niti archwire was found to have more surface roughness when compared to Esthetic coated archwire while Esthetic coated archwire showed more bending behavior when compared to Niti archwire.
