In case of combined anomalies of the shape and size of the dental arches, the edgewise technique is considered more effective. When planning orthodontic treatment of patients with anomalies in the shape and size of the dental arches using the edgeways technique, the orthodontist determines the treatment methods, the prescription of braces and the dimensions of metal arches. Many experts suggest preforming standard metal arcs produced by various companies that do not correspond in shape and size to individual arcs.
