Improved superelastic Ni–Ti alloy wire for treating skeletal class III malocclusion combined with anterior crossbite: A case report

Figure 4 Teeth movement changes during treatment. Intraoral photographs during initial alignment. Intraoral photographs demonstrating the application of Ni–Ti alloy wire (ISW) multi-bend edgewise archwire (MEAW). Unlike traditional MEAW, which employs L-loops, the ISW MEAW uses step bends tailored to skeletal class III correction. This adaptation leverages the super-elastic properties of ISW to ensure controlled and effective tooth movement without the patient's comfort being compromised.
