Abstract:
The purpose was to compare resin pad thickness in conventional and plain wire lingual systems, considering archwire form. Resin pads were smaller in plain wire for all studied teeth, except canines and second premolars; which provide better torque control. Archwire was flat/square in anterior region for plain wire system.
