Figure 1. A, 0.016 × 0.022-inch (in) multiloop edgewise arch wire with continuous tipback bends; B, 0.016 × 0.022-in titanium molybdenum alloy ideal arch wire with compensating curve. Intermaxillary elastics (anterior vertical elastics; 3/16 in, 6.5 ounce [oz] and occasionally Class II elastics; 5/16 in, 6.5 oz) were used with these arch wires after alignment and leveling.
