The braces archwire is a metal wire that connects all of the brackets and molar tubes together. One archwire runs along the upper teeth and another one runs along the lower teeth. The function of the wire is to apply gentle pressure on the teeth to move them in the right direction. There are 2 main types of braces wires - Nickel Titanium (NiTi) and Stainless Steel (SS) wires.

This video shows how SS wires are stiff and formable. This means that bends to the SS wires can be made when your orthodontist wants to make specific adjustments to straighten your teeth.

On the other hand, NiTi wires are superelastic and flexible - they return to the preformed arch-shape when bent.
