NORRIS UNIVERSAL ARCHWIRE

As with the Norris 20/26® Brackets, the Norris Extra Broad wiresare a break from convention and take what we know aboutexpanded arches and aesthetic expression to a whole new level.Once again, Dr. Robert “Tito” Norris learned from observation andtrial and error, then synthesized what he experienced from the useof existing broad arch forms into the extra broad arch form we havenow developed. A non-coordinated arch makes it possible to treatboth the maxilla and mandible with the same form. Thirty percentbroader than the broadest arch on the market, this extra broadarch achieves a number of key efficiencies and effects: it affordsmaximum space as it expresses each tooth to its full outer- mostpotential; it gains maximum leveling and alignment as the teeth areafforded a greater range of motion; it influences the musculatureof the surrounding soft tissue earlier in preparation for subsequentdesired reprogramming; and it introduces a collaborative dynamicsooner between the bracket and the wire.Throughout the laterworking and finishingstages of treatment, a“Rounded” Rectangular(19×25) arch wire isintroduced (yet anotherDynaFlex® exclusive) that makes insertion, clip closure, andseating smoother than ever. Norris Extra Broad Wires are theperfect complement in how they fully express the torque and tip ofthe bracket over existing passive systems, yet without the bindingof other higher frictional systems. Most importantly, however, ishow they both fit to produce broader, more expressive smiles thananything else available today.
