ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic wire for applying torque forces to a patient's teeth. The inventive device includes a wire having a substantially rectangular cross section with longitudinal grooves extending along exterior surfaces of the wire. The wire is more flexible than standard square or rectangular wires, yet still retains the ability to apply a torquing force absent in round wire.
