Archwire sequences as companies and practitioners use them.
Each system's usual sequence, as its company or practitioners describe it — conventions, not trial results.
The commonest sequence in the practitioner layer; lacebacks during leveling, bendbacks to stop flaring. The prescription (MBT, Roth, Andrews) changes the bracket's built-in angles, not the wire sequence — the prescriptions themselves are under Brackets.
The company's own table is for nonextraction mild-to-moderate crowding; its case sheets change the wires for deep bite, open bite, Class III and crossbite. No official extraction sheet exists. Damon Q and Damon Ultima are SEPARATE systems (owner, 2026-10-06): different bracket torques and different wire lines — never mix the two.
Rotations are meant to finish on the first Ultima wire and torque on the second. A SEPARATE system from Damon Q (owner, 2026-10-06): its own torques and its own 27.5-mil-deep (faciolingual) wire line — never mix with Q parts.
Class II division 2: an optional lower 19×25 reverse-curve wire for 4–10 weeks. Class III: the lower never above .020.
Textbook view: the .018 slot suits steel and torque; last wire 17×25 or 18×25.
