anchorage, hence the need for HG, TADS, and other anchorage devices. On the other hand,
light-wire tipping/uprighting can move teeth incredibly fast and efficiently. However, it has several
deficiencies. Hard to finish, rotational control, and you have to have good wire bending skills. ■

What wire are you in when retracting upper and lower? ■
3/7/2018

My average U/L 5s extraction case is bond U/L right after 5s removed. Place my U/L .014n
6-6 with PT U/L4-6. Then place U/L 16x22n 7-7 and, when more retraction needed, PT
U/L 4-6 again. Third wire is U/L 19x25n. Again, do the PT 4-6 if needed. Nine weeks usually
between each of these visits. Next appt would be U/L 19x25s and PC U6-, L7-7. Works very
smooth for majority of patients. ■

Fesdds, by "PT" I assume you mean power thread? ■

Plastic tubing, I think. ■

"PT" in my office is plastic thread. Comes on a spool. Several different types, I use the thicker
stuff that has a rough surface, because it doesn't untie by itself, like the smooth will do sometimes. ■

Here's one with minor crowding where the teeth were engaged completely except the LL3. ■

What's your favorite wire for space closure? I use a .022 slot so I like to retract on an 19x25 SS.
Also, does anyone attempt space closure on light wires? ■

I use 19 or 21×25 SS. With extraction of 5s, light wire is a problem because you can lose
control of the 6s in the second order. ■
