Special features
The dual coating process
consists of an inner film
coated with silver and an
outer polymer coating, making these wires corrosionfree and stain-free. Dual
coating will not flake or
corrode.
Easy, gentle space closure.
Can be adjusted intraorally
to obtain anterior guidance
by intrusion, extrusion,
torque, de-torque, or combinations. Because there
is no distal component,
there is no canine eminence
impingement. Effective,
gentle forces.
G4™ is also available with
midline dimple, prestopped,
pretorqued, reverse curve,
and triple force—solopack™ or bulk packaging
Gold plated in proprietary

Duraloy Chrome-Cobalt Wire
from Great Lakes is longer
functioning as a resilient
spring wire without distortion or fatigue, soldered
easily without annealing,
and can be treated to create
greater strength.
Carriere® Archwires complement the philosophy of
fast, gentle, and natural
tooth movement. Carriere®
Cu™ Nitanium® Archwires
include the innovative EZ
Stops™ delivery system,
crimp-stops preloaded
onto a disposable holder,
prethreaded.
The light, comfortable
forces generated by our
austenitic, bendable NiTi
arches remain constant
during tooth movement,
reducing chairtime with
fewer wire changes.

Wires are produced to the
standards of ISO 13585.
We use only the finest raw
materials and perform
rigorous testing before the
products are approved for
shipment.
Cosmetic archwires with
special polymer coating that
produces superior aesthetics and sliding mechanics.
The coating doesn’t affect
the size of the wire. They
don’t discolor, peel, or
crack, and they are guaranteed for 6 weeks.
State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques
exhibit the most optimum
hysteresis curves possible
for both Nickel Titanium and
Thermal Activated Nickel
Titanium. Broad archform
allows for more natural
axial inclination of teeth
and a more functional
occlusion.
Now available in individually packaged wires to reduce
the risk of cross-contamination, airborne contaminants,
and assure patient peace of
mind. Available in 270C or
350C force levels.
