difference in wire

#1 Post by ccmama »

I am only 2 months into my braces. I have self-ligating. At my last appt. the ortho said the next visit that my top wire needs to be a 20/20 wire.. What does that mean?

I feel like I'm trying to decipher a foreign language!

I think that would mean the wire size that you will be getting.
