SPEED and Supercable

The Evidence Is In! SPEED Supercable

Supercable Research Results Clinically Effective Superelastic coaxial NiTi wires (Supercable) exhibit a statistically significant difference over superelastic single-stranded NiTi in their alignment efficiency to relieve lower anterior crowding after 4, 8, and 12 weeks. “ “ Biju S.; Alignment efficiency of superelastic coaxial nickel-titanium vs superelastic single-stranded nickel-titanium in relieving mandibular anterior crowding; Angle Orthodontist 2012; 82:(4):703-708. (Visit www.angle.org to view a PDF of the entire study.) Ultra-Light The multistranded coaxial nickel titanium archwire (Supercable) demonstrated a significantly lower unloading force at a 3mm deflection than any of the other wires.The 55g of force imparted by the .016” wire was the lowest force recorded in the entire study “ “ Force Levels of Nickel Titanium Initial Archwires - 3mm Unloading Force Comparison of Mean Values of Tooth Movement with Two Initial Archwires 3mm Unloading Force Force Levels of Nickel Titanium Initial Archwires ~ Journal of Clinical Orthodontics ~ Alignment efficiency of superelastic coaxial nickel-titanium vs superelastic single-stranded nickel-titanium in relieving mandibular anterior crowding ~ Angle Orthodontist ~ Berger J.L., Waram T.; Force Levels of Nickel Titanium Initial Archwires; J.

Supercable Delivers SPEED Supercable™ is the revolutionary archwire setting new standards in sustained ultra-light force delivery. Developed by Dr. G.H. Hanson, SPEED Supercable™ contains multiple strands of super-elastic nickel titanium wire. Supercable’s revolutionary design combines the metallurgical benefits of nickel titanium wire with the mechanical advantages of a coaxial design. The result is an archwire that imparts extremely light forces when subjected to severe deformation. I’ve been using Supercable as my initial alignment and levelling archwire since its introduction in 1995. Supercable’s flexibility and low unloading force permits archwire engagement in the most severe malalignment, and permits teeth to align with forces that are closer to the biological ideal. The following pages contain some clinical “snapshots” of the various ways I use Supercable in my practice, from standard initial alignment and levelling, to more creative applications to address complicated clinical problems. • SPEED Supercable™ is a Super-Elastic Nickel Titanium Coaxial Wire consisting of 7 strands of wire • Unmatched as an initial aligning and levelling wire • An ultra-light force wire delivering near optimal forces to the periodontium • .016 Supercable delivers 1/3 the force of .013 Copper Nickel-Titanium • .016 Supercable delivers 1/2 the force of .014 Heat Activated Nickel-Titanium • Supercable™ will not take a set after bending • Ends are secured with SPEED Split Stops™ Dr. Fritz Byloff - Graz, Austria SPEED with Supercable user since 1995 The Incredible Super-Elastic Nickel Titanium Coaxial Wire SPEED Supercable™ - Designed to Deliver Less Force!
