Abstract
Orthodontics is a constantly evolving science, with new biomaterials being invented regularly. Orthodontic archwires are an integral part of orthodontic fixed appliances and are necessary for the delivery of forces that brings about biologic tooth movement. As an orthodontist, one needs to have a thorough understanding of the various biomaterials available to make maximum use of these archwires and achieve clinical success. This article discusses the newest orthodontic archwires and evaluates the literature that pertains to these newer archwires.
