Multiloop archwire installation

The MEAW technique for complex cases - each loop acts as a spring for its own tooth.

MEAW (Multiloop Edgewise Archwire) is a multiloop archwire technique that performs complex tooth movements with high precision. Each loop acts as an individual spring for a specific tooth. It's especially effective for open bite, occlusal-plane correction and complex cases requiring movement in different directions. The archwire is bent by hand to the individual anatomy, which takes time and high skill. At Symmetry this method is applied by the head orthodontist, experienced with complex cases.

When to come

  • Open bite.
  • A need to correct the occlusal plane.
  • Tooth movement in different directions at once.
  • Complex cases where standard archwires fall short.
  • An orthodontist's recommendation per the plan.

What's included

Assessing MEAW indications

We determine whether a multiloop archwire will give a better result in your case.

Hand-bending the archwire

Each loop is bent by hand to your anatomy and movement plan.

Placing the multiloop archwire

We fit the archwire so each loop works on its own tooth.

Precise movement control

The multiloop system allows tooth movement in different directions at once.

Work by an experienced orthodontist

The method is applied by the head orthodontist for complex cases.

FAQ

What is MEAW in simple terms?
It's a special archwire with loops, where each loop is a separate spring for its tooth. This controls complex movements precisely.
Why is it more expensive than ordinary archwires?
The wire is hand-bent to your anatomy — long, highly skilled work.
Is it painful?
Discomfort is like ordinary adjustments — the first days after placement, then it passes.
Who needs this technique?
Mainly for open bite and complex occlusion. The doctor will determine indications from diagnostics.
Who performs MEAW at Symmetry?
The head orthodontist, experienced with complex clinical cases.

A complex case is no reason to compromise. The MEAW technique delivers where standard archwires can't.
