In vitro measurement of the initial forces and moments generated for a curve of Spee malocclusion with labial and lingual archwire forms
Biomechanical differences between labial, lingual straight, and lingual mushroom treatment modalities for the correction of curve of Spee misalignments were elucidated. Labial straight archwire exerted the lowest force magnitudes overall. For both lingual archwire forms, the labial-lingual inclination of the first premolar could be highly variable during levelling.
