Reverse Curve of Spee Archwire

Reverse Curve of Spee Archwire

The Reverse Curve of Spee Archwire (RCS wire) is a specially designed orthodontic archwire that features an upward curve in the lower arch and a downward curve in the upper arch. It is mainly used to correct deep bite (overbite) by intruding the front teeth and extruding the molars. This wire helps in leveling and aligning the dental arch to achieve a proper occlusal plane. It is commonly available in Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) for flexible early stages and Stainless Steel for later stages requiring more control.

Key Features:

1. Corrects deep bite effectively by intruding anterior teeth and extruding posterior teeth.

2. Helps in leveling and aligning the dental arch.

3. Available in both NiTi (super-elastic) and Stainless Steel materials.

4. Provides continuous and gentle force for efficient tooth movement.

5. Improves the occlusal plane and overall bite alignment.

6. Strong, flexible, and durable for long-term use.

7. Smooth surface ensures patient comfort and reduces friction.

8. Suitable for both upper and lower arches as per treatment needs.
