Orthodontic wire Reverse curve (NiTi Round)

Description

Reverse Curve (NiTi Round) Wires — Main Uses:

• Initial Deep Bite Correction

  • Used in the early stages to open deep bites by applying light, continuous forces to intrude anterior teeth and extrude posterior teeth.

• Arch Leveling

  • Helps to level mild to moderate Curve of Spee, preparing the arch for more rigid wires later in treatment.

• Vertical Tooth Movement

  • Assists in the intrusion of front teeth (incisors) and extrusion of back teeth (molars and premolars) to balance the bite.

• Early Alignment and Levelling

  • The round cross-section allows flexibility, making it useful for initial tooth alignment and levelling without applying heavy forces.

• Mild Space Closure

  • Can help in closing small spaces or opening minor spaces depending on the force system applied.

• Flexible Bite Control

  • Because of their superelastic NiTi properties, these wires allow gentle correction of vertical discrepancies early in treatment without causing excessive force or damage.

Reverse Curve (NiTi Round) Wires — Key Benefits:

• Gentle, Continuous Forces

  • Made from superelastic NiTi, these wires provide light, steady forces that move teeth gently and comfortably, reducing patient discomfort.

• Early Deep Bite Correction

  • Effective at the initial stages of treatment for opening deep bites without applying excessive force.

• Efficient Arch Leveling

  • Helps to level mild to moderate Curve of Spee early, making the transition to rectangular wires smoother and faster.

• Flexibility and Adaptability

  • Their round shape and high flexibility allow easy engagement into misaligned brackets, even when teeth are severely crowded.

• Vertical Tooth Control

  • Supports intrusion of anterior teeth (incisors) and extrusion of posterior teeth (molars), helping balance the vertical dimension of the bite.

• Reduced Need for Complex Appliances

  • Can often eliminate or reduce the need for additional appliances (like bite plates or springs) when correcting deep bites early.

• Minimizes Risk of Root Resorption

  • The gentle forces reduce the risk of root resorption, which can occur when heavy forces are applied.

• Maintains Arch Shape

  • Pre-formed reverse curve helps guide and maintain proper arch form while correcting vertical discrepancies.
