title: [Clinical application of the Begg light wire technique].
abstract: The authors analysed the typical malocclusion cases treated by Begg light wire technique and discussed the following questions: 1. Case selection: should pay great attention to the maxillofacial growth pattern, differentiate the type of deformities, dental or skeletal. 2. The overbite cases were corrected chiefly by incisor intrusion and molar extrusion. 3. The effect of intermaxillary elastics to anchorage teeth and movement teeth was evaluated. 4. Problems and solutions in all treatment stages, advantages and disadvantages of Begg technique were all discussed.
