Generally, metallic orthodontic wires such as stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloy, and nickel-titanium alloy, are used for orthodontics. However, these metallic wires for orthodontic use are unesthetic, and potentially have allergic or toxic reactions. In this study, we fabricated a glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) orthodontic wire through pultrusion process, and then examined the flexural properties. As a result, flexural properties of GFRP wire were the almost same as those of available nickel-titanium alloy wire. In conclusion, GFRP wire fabricated in this study is expected to be useful as metal-free orthodontic wire.
