The document outlines an archwire sequence for treatment using Damon brackets. It describes 4 phases of treatment with recommended wire sizes for each phase. Phase 1 uses light round wires up to .016 copper nickel titanium (CuNiTi) to initiate alignment. Phase 2 uses rectangular wires up to .018x.025 CuNiTi for continued alignment and torque control. Phase 3 introduces stainless steel wires for finishing mechanics. Phase 4 uses tapered edgewise wires for detailing prior to completion.

2. 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: 10-20 weeks
Appointment Intervals: 10 weeks

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

6. PHASE 2: HIGH-TECH EDGEWISE
Goal: Resolve remaining rotations, begin torque
control and anterior space consolidation, and
continue/finish arch development
Average time: 20-30 weeks
Appointment interval: 8-10 weeks for first wire, 4-
6 weeks for second

7. PHASE 2: HIGH-TECH EDGEWISE
.014 x .025 CuNiTi – Upper/Lower
A great wire for initial rotation control and leveling
.018 x .025 CuNiTi – Upper/Lower
A great transition wire for enhanced rotation
control prior to stainless steel and sliding
mechanics.

8. PHASE 2: HIGH-TECH EDGEWISE
(case-specific alternatives)
.017 x .025 Reverse Curve Ni-Ti
Normally used with 20°anterior torque for severe Class II Division II
cases between .014 x .025 and .018 x .025 wires (If only intrusion
needed, use same size wire without 20° torque).
.019 x .025 Reverse Curve Ni-Ti
Normally used with 20°anterior torque for severe Class II Division II
cases between .014 x .025 and .018 x .025 wires (If only intrusion
needed, use same size wire without anterior torque).

15. PHASE 3: MAJOR MECHANICS
(working phase of treatment)
Goal: Finish torque control, posterior space
closure, and make vertical, A.P. and bucco-
lingual corrections. Elastics.
Average time: 20 weeks
Appointment interval: 6-8 weeks

16. Phase 3: MAJOR MECHANICS
.019 x .025 SS – Upper & Lower (Pre-posted)
Excellent archwire to maintain integrity
of arch during AP correction and space closure.
Great for vertical control.
.016 x .025 SS – Lower (Pre-posted)
Used in lower arch where more play is
desired. Nice finishing wire in lower arch
if all the torques are acceptable.

.019 x .025 SS Upper (pre-posted)
.016 x .025 SS Lower (pre-posted)
Most cases finished with the working archwires.
If more than minor bends and torque are required to finish, use
edgewise TMA:
.019 x .025 TMA Upper
.017 x .025 TMA Lower
Regular TMA – 3X friction SS
Honey Dew TMA – 11/2 X friction SS
Purple TMA – Same friction as SS
