Department of Orthodontics, College of Dentistry, University of Iowa, Iowa City 52242.

Aligning, leveling, and anterior torque control of teeth from the onset of treatment is suggested with thermal ni-ti rectangular low stiffness wires. Before and after superimpositions show the degree that torque control was achieved on four clinical patients.
