Equire – stainless steel (American Style ≙ Damon® Style1).
Equire stainless steel arches are best suitable when forces are required such as those
produced by remanium® arches. They may be used throughout the entire treatment, even
when the wire is frequently replaced. Equire arches are easy to form, can be welded
and have smooth, low friction surfaces. The arch shape complies with the American
orthodontic ideal size.

remaloy® – cobalt-chrome.
remaloy® wires and arches are made of a cobalt chrome alloy, which can be tempered
and are extremely break-resistant. This makes bending loops with fingers or pliers much
easier. The surfaces are smooth, and low in friction.

Noninium® – nickel-free2 stainless steel.
Noninium® wires and arches are especially designed for patients who are sensitized to
nickel as they do not contain nickel2. They are very break-resistant and have outstanding
mechanical properties.

rematitan® SPECIAL – titanium molybdenum.
The rematitan® SPECIAL wires and arches are made of a titanium molybdenum nickelfree2
alloy, and are therefore suitable for patients who are sensitized to nickel. This alloy’s
modulus of elasticity, which is much lower compared to that of stainless steel wires,
creates significantly lower forces but at the same time enables high elasticity and easy
bending properties.

Translucent pearl arch.
A practically invisible arch especially designed for aesthetic treatment with ceramic and
plastic brackets. Unlike white coated metal arches, this arch remains aesthetic in appearance
permanently. The arch is made of glass-fiber reinforced plastic and has similar
treatment characteristics to nickel-titanium arches.
