An Evaluation of Beta Titanium Alloys for Use in Orthodontic AppliancesDepartment of Restorative Dentistry, The University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, Connecticut 06032, Institute of Materials Science, Storrs, Connecticut 06268
Department of Orthodontics, The University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, Connecticut 06032, Institute of Materials Science, Storrs, Connecticut 06268 A beta titanium alloy was evaluated for use in orthodontic appliances. Standard mechanical tests and a specially designed spring test were used. Two particular thermo-mechanical treatments resulted in titanium springs with 1.8 times the extension of comparable stainless steel springs, and a 2.2 fold reduction in force per unit displacement.
