I officially suck at orthodontic wirebending to the extent I am contemplating constructing a device that bends wired to specific specifications.
Let me be clear, this train of thought actually crossed my mind =_=^!
Why oh why, am I not adept at manipulating wires with my fingers. I cannot for the life of me translate what I envision in my mind’s eye to the straight wire resting between my fingers.
Maybe the orthodontic lecturer was right, practice, practice, practice. As dentists we do not really manipulate wires that often, with the lab sending the finished product to our hands. BUT it is important to know how such springs, coils and other diabolical orthodontic devices are constructed, and how force is delivered by each.
Ok la, enough grousing. Better start bending the new roll of wire I bought this afternoon. Fingers are going take on a healthy reddish glow of painful aching =(
Yosh wirebending, I shall conquer you!!!
