	A	Mach II "Parkell" silicone model is made from an alginate impression. Orthodontic wire is micro etched and coated with a flowable composite. A fiber mesh instead of wire could be used as well.
	B	Rubber dam has been placed, and Contour Wedges have been positioned to form the embrasure spaces.
	C	Ortho wire bonded to place with a flowable composite. The flowable composite was also placed interproximally buccal and lingual to tie teeth and ortho wire together.
	D	Labial view of splinted teeth. Little shaping of composite was needed since the embrasure spaces were well developed by the Contour Wedges.
