Objectives: To investigate and compare the characteristics of commonly used types of traditional and heat-activated initial archwires at different temperatures by plotting their load/deflection graphs and quantifying three parameters describing the discharge plateau phase. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight archwires of cross-sectional diameters ranging from 0.010 inches to 0.016 inches were obtained from seven different manufacturers. A modified three-point wire-bending test was performed on three analogous samples of each type of archwire at 55°C and 5°C, simulating an inserted archwire that is subjected to cold or hot drinks during a meal. For each resulting load/deflection curve the plateau section was isolated and the mean value of each parameter for each type of wire was obtained. Results: Permanent strain was exhibited by all wires tested at 55°C. Statistically significant differences were found between almost all wires for the three considered parameters when tested at 55°C and 5°C. Loads were greater at 55°C than at 5°C. Differences were also found between traditional and heat-activated archwires, the latter of which generated longer plateaus at 55°C, shorter plateaus at 5°C, and lighter mean forces at both temperatures. The increase in average force seen with increasing diameter tended to be rather stable at both temperatures. Conclusions: All nickel-titanium wires tested showed a significant change related to temperature in terms of behavior and force for both traditional and heat-activated wires. Stress under high temperatures can induce permanent strain, whereas the residual strain detected at low temperatures can be recovered from as temperature increases.
