Popis: The purpose of this review was to organize a systematic reference to help orthodontists evaluate commonly used orthodontic nickel-titanium alloys. Part I of the article reviews the data available in the literature regarding the temperature transitional ranges of the alloys. The thermomechanical behavior of these compounds is, in fact, strictly dependent on the correlation between the temperature transitional range and the oral temperature range. Part II of the article will focus on the mechanical characteristics of the alloys, such as the magnitude of the forces delivered and its correlations with temperature transitional range and oral temperature.
