Inserting the BioMers Arch Wire
To illustrate the ease at which the BioMers wire is inserted into a patient's mouth, a series
of images were taken of a patient wearing aesthetic brackets. The
BioMers wire was inserted as the first wire in the alignment phase to demonstrate tooth
movement.
Wire Insertion: |

Wire inserted into the buccal tube |

Completion of wire insertion |
The clinician first inserts the wire into the buccal tubes and then gently pushes the wire
until contact is made with the bracket slot of the central incisors. |
Wire Ligation and Wire Cutting: |

Wire ligation |

Wire cutting |
Except for the lateral incisors, the clinician pushes the arch wire into the bottom of each
bracket slot before applying the clear elastomeric ligatures. The excess wire length
stemming from the buccal tube is removed using a distal end cutter. |

Cut wire |
The wire is cut flush to the buccal tube to prevent accidental poking of the patient. |
Bracket Engagement: |

Bracket engagement of the right lateral
incisor |

Bracket engagement complete |
| To guard against bracket debonding, the clinician gently pushes the arch wire into the
bottom of the bracket slot using his finger and then makes a passive ligation. This
process is repeated to the other lateral incisor. |
