About
Dr. Joby Paulose is a leading researcher in orthodontic biomaterials, with a primary focus on the mechanical behavior and clinical performance of nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires. His work is instrumental in advancing the understanding of superelasticity and shape memory alloys in dentistry. In his most cited study (2018, 7 citations), Dr. Paulose conducted a pivotal in vitro comparison of the load-deflection properties of a novel thermal copper NiTi wire against conventional orthodontic NiTi wires. This research provided critical data on force levels and the characteristic flat plateau in the load-deflection graph, which reflects the thermoelastic crystallographic transformation from Austenite to Martensite. By quantifying these properties, his work directly informs clinical decisions for more efficient and comfortable tooth alignment during the initial levelling phase. Dr. Paulose’s contributions help bridge materials science and clinical orthodontics, offering practitioners evidence-based guidance for selecting wires that deliver consistent, biologically appropriate forces. His research continues to shape the development of next-generation orthodontic appliances.
