Onyx Ultra™
is noticeably dark and smooth -- the result
of years of engineering research. An advanced
oxidizing process creates a sleek-surfaced nickel
titanium wire that minimizes the treatment-slowing
effects of friction. It is the friction between
the archwire, the bracket slot and the ligature
that keeps the laws of physics working against
orthodontics. Now Onyx Ultra™ is here.
Put science on your side.
Sliding friction is reduced
by over 30%* compared to traditional nickel
titanium wire
Does not chip, wear, or peel
Dark color surface reflects
light-- apperas silver in the mouth
Exhibits excellent superelastic
qualities and provides improved resiliency
Integral “Drift Free”
dimples positioned between the centrals ensures
accurate placement during ligation and helps
to prevent rotation out of buccal tubes
Black oxide is an integral
part of wire, not a separate applied coating
Biocompatible
Measurable performance benefits
far outweigh the marginal increase in price
over traditional nickel titanium archwires
Offered in round wire sizes
.014", .016", .018", in natural
arch shapes
Should not be used for
nickel-sensitive patients

The bar graph above illustrates the mean
coefficient of friction (static and dynamic)
for both Onyx Ultra and polished nickel titanium
wire as it moves through the bracket slot.
The graph clearly shows the advantages of
Onyx Ultra™-- a 30% reduction of both
static and dynamic frictional forces.
