Clinical Tip
Two single-file systems with opposite kinematics. One Curve shapes in continuous rotation at 300 RPM / 2.5 Ncm on any rotary motor with a pre-bendable C.Wire 25/.06; WaveOne Gold shapes in 150°/30° reciprocation with a gold-treated Primary 25/.07 on a WaveOne-approved motor. Choose One Curve if you want single-file simplicity without a reciprocating program, WaveOne Gold for the reciprocating protocol with the larger evidence base.
