Our Preformed Flat Labial Hawley Bows are manufactured using .032 diameter 3/4 (medium hard) spring temper wire.
These have a flattened anterior segment, with a round posterior segment. This flattened area gives the flatbow better surface contact, stability & control. The flattened rectangular section is measured from inside the edges of the cuspid loops.
In the drop-down menu, you also have the option of purchasing extra-long flatbows, perfect for making flat wrap-around retainer wires. Look for the sizes marked with an XL.
Sold 10 per pack. These are also called Flat Hawley Labial Archwires.
We also sell Loopless Flat Bow Labials here.
