The box from QST, for doing fixed cases will contain the following:
Bond brackets and place 0.014" wire using modules.
After 4 weeks, aim to progress to the next archwire (0.016) and tie in 1-2 of the most rotated or displaced teeth with quick ligs or figure 8 modules. Start light progressive IPR.
After 4 weeks change to 0.018 wire. More IPR if required. Use power-chain under the wire if there are spaces to close.
Occasionally stubborn teeth may require a Q100 refining aligner or an extra 20x20 square niti wire. Post the photos on the forum for advice, if needed.
Remove all wires and auxiliaries. Take a PVS putty impression of the palatal surfaces of the teeth that have been aligned.
2 weeks later receive and fit bonded retainer. Take alginate impression after bonded retainer fitted.
2 weeks later receive removable retainer.
Review the patient after 3 months and then again after an additional 9 months. Recommend yearly (chargeable) checks thereafter.
