PRINCIPLES OF WIRE BENDING
INCLUDES LAB EXERCISES ON:
ARCH FORMING AND WIRE BENDING
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_________
FACULTY:
Fares Abou Obeid, DDS.
Goals: This course should enable the resident to:
1. Be introduced to the materials, pliers and instruments used in the orthodontic
practice.
2. Know the different theories concerning the arch form.
3. Understand the purpose and indications of placing the first, second and third
order bends.
Objectives: At the end of this course, the resident should know how to:
1. Perform different arch forms with a straight wire.
2. Place different types of bends in a working wire, so it can be used in the mouth.
3. Compensate with bends to deficiencies in bracket positioning.

COURSE DURATION AND SCOPE: This course is scheduled between October and December for
the first year residents. It is given every Monday at a 4-hour session between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. and
imparts fundamental knowledge on wire bending that is pre-requisite to ameliorate the skills of residents in
wire bending and to understand the indications of different types of bends used in daily orthodontic
practice.
POLICY ON EXAMINATIONS: One examination is given for this course, usually during the progress
examination in December. During the course, a number of practical assignments on wire bending may be
given. Their cumulative weight in proportion to the final grade may not exceed 50%.
