What does a reverse curve wire do?

I searched the Forum for stuff on reverse curve wires, but I couldn't figure out what they are supposed to do.
As you might guess, I just got a RC wire at my adjustment yesterday. The ortho said something about my lower jaw being narrow, but that's all I remember. I'm not good at asking him things. Most of the time I understand what's going on.
And, he said the dreaded "E" word. He thinks I might get elastics next time - depending on what the new wire does or doesn't do.
P.S. I'm very happy to say that I did not have ANY trouble with my Damons this time. They opened, they closed and the wire went in just fine.
