2. ARCHWIRE SEQUENCE
PHASE 1: INITIAL LIGHT ROUND WIRE Never anything larger than an .014 or .013 CuNiTi. Goal: to initiate alignment, leveling, bite opening, arch development, and to resolve 90% of the rotations. Duration: weeks Appointment Intervals: 10 weeks

3. ARCHWIRE SEQUENCE
Phase 1: INITIAL LIGHT ROUND WIRE Damon CuNiTi (Upper/Lower) Main initial archwire – starts tooth movement, works on rotations, leveling, archform, prepares for next wire Damon CuNiTi (Upper/Lower) Use for severely crowded cases Damon CuNiTi (Upper/Lower) Use as a secondarchwire in severely crowded cases.
