Aim: This in vitro study aims to determine the flexural strength of esthetic archwire vs conventional NiTi wire.
Materials and methods: Conventional NiTi wire and esthetic archwire were both tested on Instron E3000 universal testing machine for their flexural strength at 4 mm displacement and unloaded at 3mm, 2mm and 1mm respectively. The force was noted and graphs were plotted.
Result: The conventional NiTi wire showed more flexural strength of 0.82N at 4 mm displacement. The esthetic archwire showed lesser strength of 0.45N at 4 mm displacement.
Conclusion: From our study, we can conclude that the conventional NiTi wire has more flexural strength compared to the esthetic archwire.
