Aims: Mechanical properties along the length of latest generation “multi-force” archwires were measured and compare with commercially available thermally activated and non-thermally activated nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires. Materials and methods: A modified deflection test was used to produce load/deflection curves for different positions along the lengths of a sample of 114 NiTi archwires composed by thermal NiTi, non-thermal NiTi, two types of multi-force NiTi and one type of multi-force copper archwires of various cross-sections (0.016 × 0.016 inch, 0.016 × 0.022 inch, 0.018 × 0.025 inch and 0.019 × 0.025 inch). The length, slope and mean force expressed were calculated from the resulting unloading plateau...
