IonGlide is a proprietary approach for minimizing resistance to sliding in orthodontics. The process utilizes direct ion beam treatment to create a low friction, low binding surface without adversely affecting wire strength, stiffness, or range. IonGlide is applicable to the full range of archwire materials such as Ni-Ti, ß-Titanium, and stainless steel alloys.

Benefits

• Reduces friction
• Increases surface hardness
• Reduces binding and notching
• Low temperature process
• Maintains transition temperature range in Ni-Ti
• Beneficial for both metallic and ceramic brackets

Representative Applications

• Ni-Ti archwires
• ß-Titanium archwires
• Stainless steel archwires
• Cobalt-Chromium archwires
