ive heard multiple people talk about a 'final wire'. what is it exactly? Is it the thickest wire possible? Or is it when you havent gotten your wire changed in a while?
I had braces for two years, and i have never heard of this term. But the thickness of wires depends on what force you need applied at a particular time. The last wire i had was the thickest, to ''cement'' my teeth, so they would not move anymore. It was left in for 2 months while my teeth adjusted to their final places. SO i believe it is for the last treatment before removal. Hope that helped. :D
The final wire is, as its name implies, the very last wire that will be used before your braces comes off. It is usually either a square or rectangular wire and braided. The wire is used to do the final tweaking on your teeth and to close any minor gaps you may still have. And YES, it is the thickest wire you will wear.
my othedontist said something about a final wire saying it was steal and is not as flexible the other wires he said in my next appointment i get them im excited that im almost done to because i had my braces as its about to be 6yrs
