Product Overview
This orthodontic silver solder wire is made for technicians and orthodontists who fabricate and repair fixed appliances. Each spool contains 5 DWT of .031″ (0.79 mm) silver soldering wire, supplied dead soft so it bends, cuts and feeds smoothly into the joint without springing back. That control makes it easier to place exactly the amount of solder you need on small joints between stainless steel orthodontic bands and orthodontic wire.
The alloy is cadmium free, a common requirement in modern dental laboratories. Every spool ships in a labeled resealable bag printed with reorder # ODU-877-131, so restocking your lab is simple.
Whether you build lingual arches, transpalatal arches (TPA), Nance appliances, band-and-loop space maintainers, expander appliances or do quick appliance repairs, this solder is a reliable everyday choice for your orthodontic lab.

Applications
Band-to-wire joints
Solder wires, hooks and attachments to stainless steel orthodontic bands.
Lingual & palatal arches
Lingual holding arches, transpalatal arches (TPA) and Nance-type appliances.

Band-and-loop and other fixed space maintainer designs.

Everyday lab work

Why Dead Soft?
Dead soft solder wire has no spring-back. You can cut tiny pieces, pre-bend the tip and feed it exactly where the joint needs it. Less waste, cleaner joints and better control on small orthodontic components.
Why Cadmium Free?
Cadmium-free silver solder avoids cadmium in the alloy – a preference in many dental and orthodontic labs that care about a cleaner, safer work environment for technicians.
How to Use – Quick Guide
- Clean & fit. Degrease and clean the band and wire. Adapt the parts so they touch passively and tightly at the joint.
- Apply flux. Cover the joint area with a silver-solder flux (sold separately) to protect the metal and help the solder flow.
- Heat & feed. Heat the joint evenly, then touch the dead soft solder wire to it and let it flow into the gap. Avoid overheating the wire to protect its properties.
- Clean & polish. Let it cool, remove the flux residue, then finish and polish the joint to a smooth, comfortable surface.
Safety: For professional dental / orthodontic laboratory use only. Work in a well-ventilated area, wear eye protection and follow your lab’s safety procedures. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 5 DWT mean?
DWT is pennyweight, the standard unit for dental solders and precious-metal alloys. 1 DWT = 1.555 g, so this spool contains 5 DWT, approximately 7.78 grams of solder.

.031 inch is approximately 0.79 mm, commonly rounded to 0.8 mm.
Is this solder cadmium free?
