    The document outlines archwire sequencing for non-extraction and extraction cases. For non-extraction in the maxillary arch, an initial flexible wire is used to correct rotations and initiate leveling, followed by a transitional wire to complete rotation correction and continue leveling and torque control, and a finishing stiff wire to finalize positioning. In the mandibular arch, an initial flexible wire corrects rotations and initiates leveling, a transitional wire continues leveling and torque control, and a finishing wire finalizes positioning.

    The document discusses archwire sequencing and types for different orthodontic cases.

    Initial - flexible round SS or NiTi, transitional - SS or TMA, finishing - stiff rectangular SS

    Initial - correct rotations and initiate leveling, transitional - continue leveling and torque control, finishing - finalize leveling, torque and arch form

    According to the Alexenders Principle Archwire Sequencing

    Non-Extraction
    Maxillary Arch Initial wire. Flexible round- 0.0175 inch multistranded SS or 0.016 inch NiTi. Purpose is to correct rotations, initiate leveling and develop an arch form.

    Transitional wire. 0.016 inch SS and/or 0.017 x 0.025 inch TMA or 0.016 x 0.022 inch SS. Purpose is to complete any rotation correction, continue leveling, provide torque control, and develop arch form.

    Mandibular Arch. Authors opinion- controlling the position of the mandibular incisors with the initial archwire is a critical factor for success. If torque control is needed, it must be added in the initial arch wire. Initial wire.

    Flexible rectangular 0.016 x0.022 inch or 0.017 x 0.025 CuNiTi Purpose is to correct any rotations, initiate leveling, provide initial torque control.

    Archwire Sequencing
    Non-Extraction
    Transitional Wire. 0.016 x 0.022 inch SS or 0.017 x 0.025 inch TMA wire. These arch wires provide minor rotation correction, continued leveling, arch form development and torque control. Finishing wire. Stiff rectangular 0.017 x 0.025 inch SS wire is used. Purpose is to finalize leveling, torque and arch form.
