For wire manufacturers’ R&D: define a superelastic alloy (or fit it to your measured three-point-bend curve), run a virtual ISO 15841 test, and translate the material’s properties into the clinical force system it delivers. Tune cross-section and plateau to hit a target force.

From a benchtop curve to the clinical force a wire will deliver — the translation manufacturers actually need.
Upload a measured three-point-bend (load–deflection) curve and fit a constitutive model with R²/RMSE.
Run the standardized three-point-bend protocol in software — loading and unloading plateaus.
Translate alloy properties and cross-section into the force the wire delivers in the mouth.
Tune section and plateau to hit a target clinical force before cutting any metal.
The materials-to-mechanics workflow, end to end.
Set a superelastic model, or fit it to your measured three-point-bend data.
A software ISO 15841 three-point bend yields loading and unloading plateaus.
See the clinical force system; adjust cross-section/plateau to hit your target.
The virtual test follows the ISO 15841 three-point-bend protocol, and constitutive fits report goodness-of-fit against your data — so the predicted superelastic plateaus and delivered forces are traceable to both the standard and your measurements.
Built for the people who design the wire.
Translate material and design parameters into the force system delivered — a virtual bench before you cut metal.
A transparent, citable model for teaching and study. Every value traces to a published equation.
Build real intuition before the clinic — change a parameter and watch the mechanics respond, instead of memorizing rules.
It is the international standard for the three-point bend test of orthodontic wires — defining span, rate, temperature, and the loading/unloading forces recorded to characterize the superelastic plateau and hysteresis. The testbench runs this protocol virtually.
Yes. You can upload a measured load–deflection (or DSC) curve and fit a constitutive model, with R²/RMSE reported, then run virtual tests on the fitted material.
No. It is an engineering and research tool for material and product R&D using generic, user-entered material data. It does not use patient data and is not for diagnosis or treatment.
The tool runs free in your browser. A gated research workspace for proprietary data is offered separately.
