• Well over 10,000 patients have benefited from faster treatment times and more comfortable treatment procedures!

  The use of S.E.T.™ archwires continues to expand as orthodontists realize the benefits of consistent, accurate and predictable anterior torque without the detrimental side effects associated with relatively high force stainless steel archwires. This reduction in force without sacrificing torque is believed to be less disruptive to the PDL, resulting in faster tooth movement with less possibility of root resorption.

• S.E.T. ™ archwires offer dramatically reduced levels of force and promote a truer torque force. Inter-incisal anterior crown movement will be minimized while promoting efficient root torque and paralleling necessary for successful case completion. The reduction in anterior torquing forces will also reduce posterior anchorage requirements.

  S.E.T. wires are also indicated for uprighting lower anteriors and preventing the “rollout” common with continuous arch straight wire therapy.

The relatively high torquing forces associated with stainless steel archwires can detrimentally impact a case nearing completion, resulting in increased chair and overall treatment time.
