Abstract
Teeth, as one of the most important organs of the body, play an essential role in beauty and one of the best ways to treat its disorder and damage is the use of orthodontics. Smart wires are widely used in orthodontics for tidying teeth and for reasons such as superelastic behavior, corrosion resistance, high fatigue life, good compatibility and reversible strain. In this paper, the finite element method was used to investigate the mechanical behavior of smart orthodontic wires according to the standard by applying tensile force and considering their metallurgical properties. The macroscopic model for describing the properties of matter was based on Helmholtz thermodynamic free energy. The results showed that with a 10°C changes in clinical temperature from 26°C to 36°C, the upper and lower plateau stresses and the strain elastic energy decreased about 10% and 18.28% respectively. Also with 10°C change in clinical temperature from 36°C to 46°C, the upper and lower plateau stresses and the strain elastic energy increased approximately 18% and 47.26% respectively. In conclusion, the smart orthodontic wire due to the lower level of the difference between the upper and lower plateau stresses, less elastic strain energy, complete hysteresis loop dependent on superelastic behavior and high correlation of experimental and numerical results related to force-strain changes showed better performance. This numerical study can provide a method to study the mechanical behavior of smart orthodontic wires with respect to the effects of metallurgical and mechanical properties for the effectiveness of the length of treatment in the tooth.
