Once flexed to fit into the bracket slots, the archwire will gradually return to its original shape and reposition bracketed teeth. Archwires are progressively changed until the desired occlusion is achieved. Along with providing consistent results, straight wire orthodontics requires little to no archwire bending and a shorter overall chair and treatment time for your patients.,Phase II – Comprehensive Treatment (Cont.),Lecture,• Reviewing Phase I Sagittal and Transverse Appliances,• Treatment Planning in More Detail,• The Straight Wire Series for Class II Malocclusions,• Multi Distalizing Arch Appliance (MDA),• The CD Distalizer, The EZ Distalizer & Other Distalization Appliances,• Closing Spaces and Retraction Mechanics,• More Basic Cephalometrics & Sim Analysis,• Diagnosing & Treatment Planning Your Cases,Demonstration,• Post MDA – .016 x .022 Nitinol – Recovering the U5s,Exercises,12.
