The dental arch forms were compared of untreated Class I and Class II div 1 malocclusions to those of non-customized preformed archwires manufactured by American Orthodontics, G&H, Highland, Ormco, RMO, and 3MUnitek. Arch forms of post-treatment Class II div 1 malocclusions treated by four 1st premolar extractions are also compared.
