Wires used in present study were Australian Special Plus Wire (Sp+). Austral ian pulse straightened Premium Plus Wire (PS P+). Cobalt Chromium Wire (Co-Cr) and Stainless Steel Wire (S.S). Intrusive archwire designs tested in the study were Anchorage Bend, Burstone 's Intrusive Arch with helix and without helix, Mulligan's Intrusive Arch and Ricketts Intrusive Utility Arch .
