Tanzo Wire - VLP Arch Form Medium | Premium Heat Activated Arch Wire

Description

Our new Copper Nickel Titanium wire is the latest innovation in our extensive arch wire offering, delivering consistent

unloading forces that allow controlled tooth movement for predictable results. Tanzo is resilient with excellent resistance

to permanent deformation and is available in mid and low force levels. Arch form options include VLP* Arch Forms,

Natural Arch Form I, Natural Arch Form III, and Form A.

Consistent Force Levels

American Orthodontics’ manufacturing benchmark for Tanzo focuses on maintaining consistent loading and unloading

forces so the wire delivers the same predictable performance every time. Strict time and temperature requirements are

met, which results in consistent gram unloading forces, unlike competitors who focus on Temperature Transition Range,

which results in less consistent force levels

Superior Surface Finish

Tanzo is manufactured using a final tumbling process for a smooth, polished surface. This reduces surface defects which

helps deter biodebris accumulation. It also adds to the aesthetics of the wire and reinforces Tanzo’s quality standards.

Pre-loaded Stops

Tanzo arch wires are available with pre-loaded stops which are especially popular in offices that use self ligating

brackets. The stops help keep wire aligned with the centerline during treatment and because they are partially crimped,

they can be easily repositioned without falling off.

Sterilizable Packaging

Tanzo is available in individually wrapped sterilizable packaging which decreases the chances of cross contamination

between patients and helps staff keep wire inventory organized. This extra care reflects a good impression on patients

and parents

Multiple Arch Form Options

- Natural Arch Form I

Well suited for pre-adjusted appliances with programmed In/Out relationships, Form I can be used throughout

treatment with little or no manipulation. Its moderately expanded anterior segment provides a slight over correction to

allow for settling after removal.

- Natural Arch Form III - European Arch Form

Form III is slightly narrower than Form I in the anterior region, yet is well suited for preadjusted appliances. Due to the

gentle curve of the arch form in the anterior segment, Form III is ideal for single-wing bracket systems as well as self

ligating bracket systems where low friction is critical to appliance performance.

- Form A  Arch Form - Large and Medium

This form is practical for patients with a broad natural arch and provides a wider canine and first molar width for

overcorrection and settling of teeth after treatment, similar to the “square” arch form options associated with Roth* and

McLaughlin, Bennett, and Trevisi* techniques.

- VLP  Arch Form - Large, Medium, and Small

The VLP arch form was designed to maximize the benefits of a passive self ligating bracket system. The wider arch width

in the posterior allows for full expression of the expansion characteristics of low friction passive systems
