The key to a successful orthodontic therapy depends not only on manual skills and knowledge about treatment steps, but also on knowledge and choice of materials used. One of the major components of fixed orthodontic therapy is the choice of wires. Orthodontic wires are defined as devices consisting of a wire conforming to the alveolar or dental arch, used as an anchorage in correcting irregularities in the position of the teeth. The history of these materials is as old as that of fixed orthodontic treatments and they present different features. With proper general knowledge, doctors can differentiate between wires and use the sufficient wire sequence suitable for each patient. This can increase the quality of treatment. Therefore, the aim of the present review is to focus on the differences in features of wires as well as the sequence of leveling wire selection according to the treatment plan.

Dental trauma is frequent within dental cases. Dental trauma of primary and permanent teeth causes functional defects besides esthetic problems. A favorable treatment plan should be prepared for the patient with the history of trauma after the clinical and radiological diagnosis. Since there is high rate of orthodontic treatment, the method of the orthodontic treatment, timing of the tooth movement and the force amount come into prominence. The aim of this review is to explain the properties of orthodontic treatment approaches of traumatized teeth.
