Archwire Introduction

Self-Ligating Appliances

2.9

Many orthodontists state that archwire selection is
more important when working with a self-ligating
appliance than with a traditional appliance. Of significant
importance are the force profiles, dimensional integrity
and arch form availability of the archwires.

Force Profiles

When working in a low friction environment it is
important to select archwires that deliver minimal,
consistent and predictable force levels. For this reason,
3M has designed archwires in a variety of materials and
sizes to offer a large range of force profiles.

Dimensional Integrity

In a self-ligating system where ligatures are not
actively seating the archwire, dimensional consistency
is essential for the archwire to predictably express
torquing, rotating and tipping movements. All 3M square
and rectangle archwires are engineered to have precise
corner radii that deliver predictable torque control.
3M archwires are available in a range of dimensions and
include Hybrid and Dimpled options.

Arch Forms

A critical part of successful treatment is having an
archwire that predictably develops the arch form best

™

suited for each patient. 3M provides three OrthoForm
Arch Forms – Tapered, Square, and Ovoid – that offer
the diversity needed to fit the range of arch forms
among orthodontic cases.

3M also offers a large variety of wire auxiliaries to allow
you to best treat your patients.

Simplified Archwire Sequence For Self-Ligating
Appliances

Note: There are many variations to this basic sequence that

can be used. Archwire sequence should always be modified
to best treat each individual case. Hybrid rectangular arches
can be substituted depending on torque requirements.

Archwire

Tandem Archwires: Filling the Slot

Tandem archwires have shown to produce significant results in correcting rotations and creating leveling and alignment
in SmartClip

In order to correct rotations and level and align the teeth early in treatment, the goal is to engage archwires that fill the
horizontal plane and have a low unloading force. Using two flexible round archwires in tandem fills both the horizontal
and vertical planes of the bracket slot. This configuration corrects and manages rotations while simultaneously
correcting vertical discrepancies.

™

SL3.

The tandem archwire should be inserted directly on top of the initial archwire
used in treatment. There is no need to disengage the initial archwire, saving
valuable chair time.

Tandem Archwire Combinations

.018/.022 .012 .014

.018/.022 .014 .014

.022 .014 .016

The choice of tandem archwire combination depends on the slot size and degree of
rotational deflection. In most cases, the .018 slot option will be the .014/.014 and the
.022 slot will be the .014/.016 combination.
