Description
🔧 Primary Uses of Reverse Curve NiTi Rectangular Wire:
-
Deep Bite Correction:
-
Helps in intruding anterior teeth (upper or lower) and extruding posterior teeth to flatten the curve of Spee.
-
This action helps reduce excessive overbite.
-
-
Open Bite Treatment:
-
Can be reversed (upside-down curve) to extrude anterior teeth and intrude posterior teeth, aiding in closure of an anterior open bite.
-
-
Arch Leveling:
-
Ideal for flattening the occlusal plane during early or mid-level treatment phases.
-
Especially helpful in levelling lower arches where the curve of Spee is exaggerated.
-
-
Torque Control:
-
Rectangular wire provides better torque control compared to round wire due to engagement with bracket slots.
-
-
Improved Anchorage Control:
-
The archwire’s unique shape can assist in redistributing forces, reducing the need for additional anchorage methods in certain cases.
-
-
Used in Combination with Elastics or Auxiliaries:
-
Often paired with class II or class III elastics or bite turbos depending on the malocclusion being treated.
-
🦷 Key Features of Reverse Curve NiTi Rectangular Wire:
-
-
-
Reverse Curve of Spee Design:
-
Pre-formed with a negative curve (opposite of natural curve of Spee) to aid in bite correction.
-
Enhances leveling of deep curves and helps adjust the vertical dimension of the arch.
-
-
Shape-Memory Property (NiTi Alloy):
-
Made from Nickel-Titanium, which provides excellent shape memory and superelasticity.
-
Returns to its original form after deformation, applying continuous light forces over time.
-
-
Rectangular Cross-Section:
-
Engages bracket slots more completely than round wires.
-
Offers three-dimensional control, especially for torque and rotational correction.
-
-
Low Load-Deflection Rate:
-
Delivers consistent and gentle forces, minimizing patient discomfort while effectively moving teeth.
-
-
Corrosion Resistance:
-
NiTi alloy is highly resistant to oral conditions, ensuring durability and performance over extended periods.
-
-
Efficient Arch Leveling:
-
Designed specifically for leveling the curve of Spee, aiding in both deep bite and open bite correction.
-
-
Compatible with Both Upper and Lower Arches:
-
Available in forms designed for mandibular (lower) and maxillary (upper) arches, depending on treatment goals.

🦷 Benefits of Reverse Curve NiTi Rectangular Wire:
-
Deep Bite Correction
– Helps intrude anterior teeth and extrude posterior teeth, reducing deep overbite efficiently. -
Open Bite Management (when inverted)
– When used upside down, assists in extruding anterior teeth and intruding posteriors to close anterior open bites. -
Arch Leveling and Flattening Curve of Spee
– Promotes vertical alignment of teeth by flattening the exaggerated curve of Spee. -
Continuous Gentle Forces
– NiTi’s superelastic property delivers light, sustained force, which is more comfortable and biologically favorable. -
Three-Dimensional Control
– The rectangular wire engages the bracket slot fully, enabling better torque, rotation, and vertical control. -
Faster Treatment Progression
– Aids in early leveling and bite correction, which can lead to reduced overall treatment time. -
Improved Patient Comfort
– Light forces cause less discomfort than stiffer wires like stainless steel. -
Corrosion Resistant and Durable
– NiTi is highly resistant to corrosion in the oral environment, offering long-term stability.
