PHASE 1 INITIAL LIGHT ROUND WIRENever anything
larger than an .014 or .013 CuNiTi. Goal to
initiate alignment, leveling, bite opening, arch
development, and to resolve 90 of the rotations.
Duration 10-20 weeksAppointment Intervals 10
weeks

Phase 1 INITIAL LIGHT ROUND WIRE.014 Damon
CuNiTi (Upper/Lower) Main initial archwire
starts tooth movement, works on rotations,
leveling, archform, prepares for next wire.013
Damon CuNiTi (Upper/Lower) Use for severely
crowded cases.016 Damon CuNiTi (Upper/Lower)
Use as a secondarchwire in severely crowded
cases.
