OJW™ Weight-Control: Two methods to Wire and Two to  Unwire

The first method of wiring is the TYPICAL and MOST DESIRABLE since it makes use of all six  brackets bonded on to the upper and lower canines and premolars.  It requires more finesse for the patient to rewire as they are required to do every FIVE weeks than the second method. Using the second method the patient who cannot master the first method begins wiring one bracket more forward engaging only four of the six brackets bonded.  Removing the wiring is a SNAP...no, no  I mean a SNIP.  The patient simply snips open the exposed wire toward the front and peels the wire back the way it was first wire. Alternatively, the "tail" of the is untwisted with the twister instrument and peeled back the way it was wired forward.
