AUSTRIA – Vienna – Ricketts cephalometrics, wire bending: sectionals retraction archs, MEAW and GEAW.
Day 1:
General difference between Bioprogressive and MEAW:
- When the application of Bio and MEAW is beneficial
- Loops, arches and sectionals in Bioprogressive: Cases demonstration
- Practice of loops and arches:
- Most used loops practice
- Basic Utility arch: construction and biomechanics
- Sectionals and their applications
- Retraction arches with incisors: 3D control
Materials needed:
- Pliers: Hollow Chop, Omega loop plier (reference I00350 RMO), Thin Bird Beak, Weinghardt and Nance step plier
- Wire: Elgiloy 0.016”x 0.016” (E00304 – RMO)
- Contouring chart
