Abstract

Orthodontic treatment often involves the use of nickel-titanium (NiTi) wires for initial leveling and alignment of teeth due to their unique properties. However, engaging these wires into bracket slots, especially in crowded or rotated teeth can be challenging. This article presents the development of a custom-made wire tucker aimed at simplifying the engagement process, reducing operator effort, and maintaining sterility in orthodontic procedures. The design, advantages, and practical applications of this modified instrument are discussed, highlighting its potential to enhance clinical efficiency and patient outcomes.
