Why AMC Stainless Steel Archwires are Superior to other manufacturers!
              
Material  Information

Material sizes are available from 0.012" through 0.0215 X 0.028"  and we use only the highest quality stainless steels available.

All our square and rectangular archwires are manufactured from 304VAR (Vacuum Air Remelted) material. This type of material will reduce any chances of brittleness that may lead to breakage.

Our materials will ensure the tightest wire tolerances are maintained and that we will provide an archwire with corner radii and cross section diagonals that will prevent any spinning of the archwires in the archwire brackets. Through the use of superior materials, "state of the art" controls, and experienced personnel, Acme provides the customer an edge on the competition.

A variety of configurations to meet your needs!
Conventional, pre-posted, silver-tone, gold-tone, standard tensile, or high tensile are only a few of the options you have when purchasing Acme-Monaco's Stainless Steel Archwires. We will supply the wires with an etch midline, and of course, we will supply our archwires in a large selection of archform shapes as well as producing archforms to your specific shape needs.

Testing for Product Assurance

All our wire is tested for tensile strength before and after the archwire forming process to ensure that the tight tensile specifications are met.  Various bend testing is performed on each lot to verify proper ductility and to ensure that no brittleness conditions exist.

Our archwires are subject to strict inspection requirements for size, arch shape, flatness, torque, and cosmetic finish. Due to our inspection methods, we are confident that our consistency in shape from arch to arch surpasses the quality of our competitions products. Our flatness is verified throughout the production lot, and if required, each piece will be tweaked to proper flatness.

When it comes to torque in a square or rectangular archwire, you don't have to worry about our wire exceeding the 3° maximum industry standard. We not only test our wires in the midline area, but also check to be sure excessive torque does not occur in the posterior sections of the archwire. Torque is a serious condition that can cause harmful effects to an orthodontist's patient.
