When you first start treatment with braces, your teeth are crookedThe wire that attaches to your braces must be able to return to its original shape when it is deformed or bentThe force that returns the wire to its original shape is what moves your teethThe wire should be springy, yet exert a gentle force so that your brackets do not pop off when the orthodontist ties in your arch wireAs your teeth get straighter, your orthodontist will exchange your wires for stronger wires that are usually less elastic and stifferThese stronger, stiffer wires allow the orthodontist to have more control over tooth movementsOften times, these later wires have characteristics that allow the orthodontist to put permanent bends in the arch wire if he wants to move individual teethSize of Arch Wires When orthodontists talk about the “size” of an arch wire, they are referring to the cross-section or thickness of the wireConsidering arch wires made from identical materials, the smaller the cross-section, the more elastic and less stiff the wire will beWires come in two types of cross-sections: 1) Round and 2) RectangularRound wires are obviously round in cross-sectionRectangular wires can be square or rectangular in cross sectionIn the beginning stages of treatment, round wires are typically used to level and align the teethThis is because when considering arch wires made from identical materials, round wires are more elastic and so the orthodontist will be able to engage all your teeth into the wire without popping off bracketsIf he uses a wire that is too stiff and tries to tie the arch wire to a really crooked tooth, the wire will put too much pressure on the bracket, and the bracket may break off from the tooth.
