Bending orthodontic wire. Practical leadership. Nakadjima E.

Many dentists believe that at present direct arcs have completely eliminated the need to use curved wire in orthodontic practice. Yes, their popularity is obvious. This technique involves the use of thin elastic straight wire, which is then replaced with a thicker one. Moreover, it does not always make it possible to carry out the required correction, taking into account the individual anatomical characteristics of the skeleton, dysfunction and dimensions, which does not allow satisfying functional and aesthetic requirements in each particular case.

It should also be noted that to a greater or lesser extent, such features are available in almost all clinical situations. On the one hand, the latest achievements in the field of material science contributed to the improvement of many clinical methods, and on the other hand, even the appearance of a super -elastic wire reduced, but did not completely eliminate the need to use the methods of bending wire.
