Orthodontics — Key differences for NEET MDS
NiTi = most flexible lowest stiffness for alignment phase. Stainless steel = highest stiffness for finishing detailing. TMA = beta titanium = intermediate properties. Ideal arch wire sequence: NiTi then TMA then SS. MBT prescription most common. Roth prescription = 0 degree torque. Pre-adjusted edgewise = straight wire.

Extraction patterns: 4 first premolars most common. Serial extraction for severe crowding early treatment. Leeway space = difference E and 5. Nance analysis = arch perimeter.
