Over the years, scientists have worked very hard to try to define the shape of the human dental arch. In general, there are two ways of classification – a simple and a more complex one. It is believed that preservation of the original form of the dental arch during orthodontic treatment increases the success of its outcome, and the correct recognition of the shape of the dental arch allows achieving a stable, functional and aesthetic occlusion. Therefore, the choice of the orthodontic arch is one of the most important stages of orthodontic diagnostics. The aim of the study was to go through the previously published material on the subject and to analyse the correlation between the natural shape of the dental arch and the shape of prefabricated arch wires used during orthodontic treatment in order to select an optimal method of determining the form of the orthodontic arch. The literature review was ...
