                                        Back to Iris Pierre OJW n Ortho 1

I placed a new tooth-colored upper arch wire (.016)  and placed power chain to begin closing the space between the 4 upper front teeth

Here I have OJW rewired her with .012 dead soft stainless steel wire. Note how the lower jaw is about 2mm apart from the upper jaw.

This position of apartness is called "Rothstein's OJW Position of Rest"
