Permanent retention is greatly enhanced using a flattened, dead soft 8-braided wire. Intra-arch splinting with this thin ribbon arch prevents torque control problems that can occur using a round braided wire for these procedures.
When bonded on the lingual of the upper incisors, a very thin rectangular wire can be adapted with little lower incisor interference.
The dead soft wire is easy to adapt and prevents inadvertent tooth movement associated with active force wires.
