Ortho-Care Ltd, one of the UK's largest independent distributors of orthodontic products, has introduced Woowa – an aesthetically pleasing, high-performance archwire, that is incredibly durable.

Ceramic fixed braces may have revolutionised the world of orthodontics but the challenge has always been how to deal with unsightly wires that ruin the 'invisible' look. In the past, the options have been limited. People with cosmetic braces either had to put up with silver-coloured stainless steel wires or resort to poor quality tooth-coloured wires that were prone to peeling.

Woowa archwires are tooth-coloured and, when combined with aesthetic brackets, create a truly brace-free look. Developed in Korea, this new technology allows orthodontists to give patients the very best aesthetic orthodontic treatments.

The product does not compromise the clinical performance of their treatment as Woowa wires perform like a non-coated archwire, with outstanding low levels of friction, due to the negligible 0.00005′′ coating that does not change the dimensions of the wire. This unique coating can be applied to stainless steel or nickel titanium wire. The outer polymer coating is resistant to corrosion and staining and won't discolour, crack or peel.

Woowa archwires are now available in all popular sizes in nickel titanium and stainless steel.
