AheAd of the Curve
With precision manufactured, next-generation arch forms, and a range of
metal types that apply the appropriate force at each stage of treatment, vIA
Wires signal the evolution in orthodontic arch wires.

Next-Generation Arch forms
In developing vIA Wires’ next-generation arch forms, dr. richard McLaughlin
drew on his 30 years of clinical experience and research, as well as his philosophy
that proper arch form selection is integral to predictable, patient-friendly treatment.
he developed a two-part system to identify appropriate arch form shape in
early treatment, and customize arch form shape in later treatment.

Designed for an anatomical fit, VIA Wires feature square, ovoid, and tapered arch
forms with unique posterior widths, improved cuspid widths, and a natural shape.
vIA Wires are versatile and compatible with most prescriptions.
Next-Generation Arch forms first Stage (for round and nickel titanium rectangular wires)
vIA Wires arch form templates help to identify and maintain proper arch form throughout the early stages of treatment:
• determine proper arch form by placing clear templates over lower arch model or printout of 3d model. • Note selected arch form in patient record.
• Use white templates chairside to adjust arch wires to exact arch form. the printed grid helps to ensure symmetry when adjusting arch wires.

Second Stage (for beta titanium or stainless steel rectangular wires) In the later stages of treatment, customize arch form shape to match the patient’s natural anatomy:
• Take a wax indentation of lower arch (including brackets) and customize rectangular stainless steel or beta titanium wires to the exact patient arch form. • Place formed wire over a photocopy of the original patient model to confirm that original arch form has been maintained. • Make a photocopy of the custom-formed wire and save in patient records as the new chairside template.

Heat Activated NiTi — Heat Activated Nickel Titanium (NiTi) wires comfortably level and align tough cases with easy engagement and low forces:
· Lowest recovery forces for gentle movement
· Becomes dead soft when chilled below 20°C and achieves optimum activation at 37°C
· Etched centerline
· Ideal for easier bracket engagement
· Individually sealed wires in autoclaveable package
Super Elastic NiTi — Super Elastic NiTi wires level and align cases without fear of distortion: · Low recovery forces for gentle movement
· Full shape recovery with less distortion
· Extremely elastic for easy placement and gentle recovery
· Individually sealed wires in autoclaveable package
vIA Wires are available in a range of metal types for the appropriate force at each stage of treatment.
Beta Titanium — Beta Titanium wires finish cases with medium forces and easier engagement:
· Moderate force values bridge the gap between Nickel Titanium and Stainless Steel
· Made of beta titanium III alloy, the latest technology in titanium metals
· Contains no nickel
· 45% less force levels than stainless steel wires
· Individually sealed wires in autoclaveable package
Stainless Steel — Stainless Steel wires deliver the highest force values for
a perfect finish:
· High force values ideal for finishing cases
· Made of 304v medical grade stainless steel
· Precision formed for precise force values and arch form
· Individually sealed wires in autoclaveable package
PreCISIoN MANufACturING
vIA Wires are manufactured with precision and care. they are
mechanically polished for smoother sliding action, and laser
inspected for shape and size accuracy. each arch wire is
tested for arch form exactness, and each batch is tested for
precise force-values.
The rigorous manufacturing and quality control steps ensure
performance and predictability—every wire, every time.
