The wire appliance typically refers to a device made of wire that is used for various orthodontic treatments. Wire appliances, like braces, consist of thin wires that are attached to brackets and used to apply gentle forces to move teeth into the desired positions. These wires can provide the appropriate strength and flexibility.
contact us1. Correction of crowding, spacing, and malalignment of teeth
2. Management of Class I, II, III malocclusion
3. Correction of anterior crossbite, posterior crossbite, deep bite, open bite
4. Control of tooth inclination, rotation, and intrusion/extrusion
5. Finishing and detailing of tooth position after orthodontic treatment
6. Space closure, midline correction, and arch form optimization
7. Complex tooth movement requiring precise, controlled force
Powder component:
1. Prophylaxis – Clean teeth thoroughly to remove plaque and calculus
2. Tooth isolation – Keep enamel dry for reliable bracket bonding
3. Enamel conditioning – Etch, apply primer and adhesive uniformly
4. Accurate bracket positioning – Place at correct height and angulation for deal tooth movement
5. Check occlusion – Avoid premature contacts and interferences
6. Smooth wire ends – Prevent mucosal irritation and injury
7. Check soft tissue – Ensure no pressure on gingiva, frenum or alveolar mucosa
