The effect of pH on the mechanical properties of beta titanium orthodontic arch wires
There was a significant decrease in flexural strength of all wires over time and beta titanium archwires decreases significantly more than NiTi and SS wires. There is no significant change in tensile strength of beta titanium and NiTi wires over time. Tensile strength of stainless-steel wires increased significantly over time.
