With regard to the technical difficulty of using the V-loop design compared to the straight wire design, the V-loop wire is slightly more intricate to bend to get the V-loops perfectly centered between the teeth and to make the entire wire flush and passive against the teeth.

2019年1月1日 · 7) W-shaped lingual retainer wire stabilizer [19] This innovative approach enables the orthodontist to hold the retainer wire perfectly between the anterior's and to ensures easy bonding...

Scuzzo et al 10 developed the system STb Light Lingual Straigth Wire(r) while other authors 13 found a more square-shaped archwire, enabling the use of continuous lingual arches (LSW).

In this study, we tested three different wires used for lingual retainer fabrication in order to determine if they differ in (1) detachment force, (2) amount of deformation, (3) fracture mode, or (4) wire pull-out force. Ninety-four human lower incisor teeth were obtained from patients who were undergoing dental treatment.

2016年9月12日 · We set out to test this hypothesis by investigating the relative stiffness of different mushroom and straight-form lingual archwires for both arches in vitro, using a modified three-point bending test and plotting their load/deflection graphs.

A bonded, flat wire for permanent or semi-permanent retention of tooth position. Bonded to the lingual surface, this is unobtrusive, aesthetic, and requires little patient cooperation. Comparable bend ductility to 8-braid retainer wire on the market.

2021年3月25日 · In the lingual orthodontic technique, there are two paradigms regarding the type of wire used. Regardless of the material or gauge, some orthodontists choose to use the straight wire and resin and bond it to the surface of the tooth; they call it compensations. Other orthodontists prefer to bend the wire, giving it a mushroom shape.

Introduction: This study aims to determine the shape and dimension of dental arches from a lingual perspective, and determine shape and size of a straight archwire used for lingual Orthodontics. Methods: The study sample comprised 70 Caucasian Brazilian individuals with normal occlusion and at least four of Andrew’s six keys.

The 3D® Lingual Arch is a very versatile modular component. The adjustment loops in the wire (referred to as “Activators”) make this lingual arch much more than just an arch-length, space-maintaining device. The Activator is a diamond shaped loop that is easily adjusted with flat-on-round Light Wire Pliers.

A total of 8 lingual mushroom shaped pre-formed NiTi archwires with size configurations of small, medium and large that were chosen for the study are listed below
