Features: Based on the Edgewise, L. F. Andrews designed the Oral Orthodontic Straight Wire Arch Appliance in the 1970s. Subsequently, some scholars improved the Straight Wire Arch, aiming to "achieve perfect results with simple techniques." Representative figures include R. C. Alexander and R. P. McLaughlin. This book will showcase the Alexander Straight Wire Arch and the MBT (proposed by R. P. McLaughlin and others) Straight Wire Arch. Unlike some other books, it does not present the content solely through theory but through specific clinical processes. Therefore, this book describes the specific methods and steps of using Oral Orthodontic Straight Wire technology in clinical practice. Regarding the readers of this book, we would like to quote a passage from Alexander himself in the preface of his book "Alexander Straight Wire": "This is not a textbook! It is not written for students who have just started learning Oral Orthodontics. The main readers of this book are clinical practitioners, especially young doctors who have just begun clinical practice. By reading this book, you can avoid some mistakes in your clinical work." In summary, what readers will find in this book is the path of clinical practice of Oral Orthodontic Straight Wire technology. Due to our limited expertise, there may be imperfections in the book, and we sincerely welcome readers' criticism and corrections.
