Question: 1 / 1180

What is the purpose of a first order bend?

position teeth in proper horizontal buccolingual position

A first order bend is used to position teeth in their proper horizontal buccolingual position. This means that the bend of the wire will help align teeth in the correct position within the arch. This aligns the tooth in a specific direction and is important for overall tooth alignment and positioning. B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not specifically address the purpose of a first order bend in positioning teeth. B and C may play a role in angulation and direction, but A is the most specific and correct answer for the purpose of a first order bend. D refers to a center of rotation, which is not directly related to the purpose of a first order bend for tooth positioning.
