Abstract:
Minor orthodontic treatment using a thin wire with high elasticity can shorten the treatment period and reduce the load on the anchorage by the application of light force. Since it can be applied immediately without a dental laboratory procedure and does not require the patient's cooperation, it can be clinically useful. The cases reported here have led to positive results in short periods of treatment, using only a segmented straight 0.012 inch NiTi wire and flowable resin to address various locations within the oral cavity, such as the anterior teeth, premolars, and molars.
