The art of wirebending in orthodontics has a rich history. In the early 20th century, orthodontists began using brackets and wires to move teeth. At first, the brackets were simple clamps that held the wire against the teeth, and orthodontists manually bent the wire to achieve proper positioning of the teeth. In 1972, Dr. Larry Andrews revolutionized the field with his publication of "Six keys to normal occlusion," describing a system where brackets were designed with predetermined angulations and inclinations, thus reducing the need for wire-bending. Later on, the MBT bracket system was introduced, which aimed to minimize wire-bending through torque and tip compensation. Despite advancements in technology, wire-bending remains a fundamental part of orthodontics as it is still needed to account for individual differences in tooth anatomy and size. To become a skilled wire bender, one must start with a comprehensive course, such as the one offered at Perfect Braces Academy. The course is instructed by Dr. Ahmed Salah, a highly qualified orthodontist with an MSc degree in Orthodontics and Morth, and a lecturer at Perfect Braces Academy.

The course covers a wide range of wirebending techniques, including:

• Customization of Tweed arch forms using various tools such as compasses, graph paper, turrets, and Delarosa.
• Techniques for creating 1st and 2nd order bends, such as offset, insets, and angulation bends.
• Application of 3rd order bends for adding anterior +ve torque and posterior progressive -ve torque.
• T-loop technique for segmental canine retraction.
• Anterior retraction arch wire technique for two-space stage closure with closing vertical loops and active tie-backs.
• Closing loop arch wire (CLAW) technique with T-loop and preactivation bends for enmass space closure.
• Uprighting mesially tilted molars using L-loop and tip-back bends or uprighting springs.
• Designing custom reverse arch wire for flattening spee curve.
• Utility arch wire for segmental incisors intrusion.
• Accessory leveling arch wire for differential uprighting, extrusion of posterior segment, and intrusion of anterior segment.
• 3-piece intrusion arch for incisors intrusion.
• Burstone torquing spring for applying palatal root torque for incisors.
• Applying individual tooth torque using male and female torquing pliers (positive and negative).
• Stopped arch wire for proclining upper incisors in cross-bite cases.
• Ballista loops for impacted canine traction.
• Easy canine spring for impacted canine traction.
• Cantilevers for occlusal canting correction.
