Biomechanical effects of reverse curve archwire
Abstract
Deep overbite is considered as one of the most common malocclusion that is difficult to treat and retain. Usually deep overbite is corrected by using different types of intrusion archwires. It is assumed, that intrusion archwires could provide intrusion of frontal teeth, thereby correcting deep overbite. However, it is vital to consider biomechanics of teeth movement while using intrusion arches to avoid undesirable side effects. In this article, we evaluate the influence on lower frontal teeth the most commonly used intrusion archwire – reverse curve archwire.
