Range of archwire sizes?

#1 Post by cbraces678 »

Out of curiosity, I was wondering if anyone knows what the range of archwire sizes is for niti and stainless steel?
I’m currently in 18x25 on top and at my appointment last week she said that is one of the thickest they have. How many more are above that? I’m fairly certain this is still a niti wire. When is the transition to stainless steel usually? I didn’t have much pressure from this wire surprisingly, so I am optimistic that means my upper arch is getting to be a good shape and aligning well.
