Popis: To compare mechanical properties of three commercial NiTi orthodontic round wires, three commercial brands of NiTi round wire (Nic-China, Ormco-USA, and Smart-Thailand) with sizes 0.014’’, 0.016’’, and 0.018’’were studied. Five specimens each size of each brand were used to test mechanical properties; unloading force (N), spring back (mm), and yield strength (N/mm) with three-point bend test using an Instron Universal Testing Machine. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and one-way ANOVA were employed to test the differences among groups with statistical difference at p
