Nitinol (memory Ti alloy) is notoriously difficult to work, and there are to my knowledge no glasses frames made entirely from memory Ti. Typically, the Ti alloy is limited to an insert in each temple piece and another insert in the bridge. That usually gives all the flex you need to prevent the frames from being bent in use.
I would be disappointed to get memory Ti frames that did not have a Nitinol insert in the bridge. There are frames that use commercially pure Ti for the entire frame, but these are not ultra-flexible like Nitinol and thus can be bent out of shape (or bent to adjust them for perfect fit).
