Closing or loop wires
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 7:23 am
Hi All,
I've been braced for about 7 months. I had two upper bicuspid extractions when I first started my brace journey. I was originally equiped with a nance appliance but it was removed a couple months ago. On my last adjustment, about 2 weeks ago, I was given a stronger wire with loops. THe ortho said that it was going to help close the gaps. My question is this: Will the loops in the wire open up as the gaps close or will the loops remain?
Sorry if this was addressed somewhere. I tried doing a search but it came back with toonnns! of results. I went through a lot of them but I couldn't find my answer.
THanks!
