well you have to fully level and align first? and fully fill the slot. Bite will always deepen when you close space so that's why you have to FULLY level first (almost overcorrect the curve of spee)- then you bond 7's if needed to help to level after closing spaces and can use RCS wire if needed
You stated that you use a 17x22 ni wire….why? Do you find it a smoother ride vs 16x22ss? I was trained with ni upto 018, then 18x25 heat activated wire, followed by 19x25 & then finish back with heat activated or 018ss. Currently morphed to what the 40yr experienced orthodontist is using in my office which is twist(not my thang), 018ni, 16x22(general finishing wire as we have never go to a 018ss). I have no problem doing repos when ever needed which I can see is not his thang as he is master wire bender & arch coordination by hand along with what I call “trust in the process” which equates to more time & waiting. Lets just say he was the first in our area to do bonded brackets in our town when he came her but he is old school instructor style;)
No, good question- my videos are made assuming 022 slot because most GPs are using 022 slot. 018 slot is a lot harder to use and a lot less forgiving. I am trained on both.
just tested it and it worked for me just fine? Maybe you have a different link- linktr.ee/straightsmilesolutions go to webinars archived. There is a little form to fill out before you can access the info. Thanks
so wire with reverse curve of spee should be done in alignment and levelling phase 1725NiTi or way after space closed, dr want to further refine the levelling ?
Can you please post the link to the blog of the article on wire sequence? Thank you.

You were very clear in your explanation,big thanks to you for time and effort 💜
You're welcome 😊
How do you close extraction spaces on Niti wires without losing incisor torque or deepening the bite?

Thanks! If your system / workflow is working for you, then I don't see anything wrong with it! as long as you are finishing your cases to ideal in
Thank you
mostly round ss wire is used for wire bending or else we can use
I never used that for wire bending! Please watch all the other videos that address this in our straightwire playlist or take out straight wire course
Do you use .017*.025 on both .018 and .022 brackets during space closing? Thank you

@@Straightsmilesolutions Thank you for answering. This helps a lot. 🥰
On what wire do you retract canine and incisor retraction?
Do you use 0.016 & 0.018 stainless steel wires after 0.016 & 0.018 Niti wires?
I do not- here's more on my opinion of SS- th-cam.com/video/zukJEZ6k-vA/w-d-xo.html
The link to the webinars and seminars is no longer working.

for me this is last resort for leveling- please watch this video- th-cam.com/video/2aD8lQcFnWc/w-d-xo.html

Excellent :)
Many thanks!
