Phases of Tx & Wire Sequence

Describes the parts of a bracket, NiTi vs. SS vs. TMA wires, the three phases of orthodontic treatment, and our typical archwire sequence to align the teeth and correct the occlusion (bite).

Great video. I'm 44 years old and I began Orthodontic treatment 6 months ago. This helped me more than any of the answers I received from my Orthodontist.

I'm definitely at the thickest wire, because the pressure I felt right after and the next day is nothing I've ever experienced. Great video!

I remember I heard my ortho asked his assistant to bring him a "0.018 lower" and I searched it in the internet like crazy and found your vid! Well informative! This is the 1st wire replacement I got which means this is the 2nd wire.

i got 4 teeth missing and i was told to use elastics with a round wire while i have still some unresolved alignment and spacing issues. i dont remember we've ever used rectangular ones before. my whole body crunched in stress, so many problems showed up, needed a root canal for one teeth and we gave up on elastics. i've experienced narrow skewed arch, too much closed space for the missing incisor with tmj problems and with all that at least 7 seemingly unrelated physical problems from postural, neurological to dermatological ones and of course its psychological traumatic effects. i needed to learn dental stuff instead of my profession, gave a break to my job 2 years ago, and still no clear sight ahead.

this treatment is not a joke but somehow some orthodontists are not aware of the consequences of what they are doing. i wish every ortho would be a clear communicator like you. thanks for the videos, these explanations has given me clear understanding of its technicality.

if you have any suggestions, i'd also be appreciated.

Best video about orthodontics for patients! Really, really informative, with simple language that everyone can understand, and precise explanations! Thank you so much!

[makeupandmusicgirl]

This is so informative, thank you! I was able to distinguish exactly where I am in my braces journey based on this video. Also explains why there are two months between my last and next appointments, which I was curious about!

One of the best videos on youtube for basics for arch wire sequencing

[goodthyme]

Helps alot for a general dentist learning ortho. Thank you!

[nutellaluis]

Based on the preceprorship I attended, .016x.22 is a contraction wire while.017x.025 is the final wire but it all depend on your school of thought..Great video indeed❤

What a freaking awesome video!!! The rectangular wires are super neat!! With their work they do on teeth. I can’t wait to see the difference in my treatment once I get my 3rd set of wires!!!
