The perfect control of tooth movement requires the application of a system of specific forces appropriately supported by accessories such as orthodontic archwires. The mechanical basis of orthodontic treatment consists of the assumption that accumulated elastic energy can be transformed into mechanical work by the movement of teeth. During the overjet reduction a distally directed force retracts anterior teeth by sliding an archwire through brackets and tubes in the buccal segments. Significant resistance to movement may arise due to frictional forces generated. Round wires slide well, but the torque control is a significant problem. Rectangular wires produce effective torque expression but pose a challenge to free sliding due to factors like friction and force used to overcome friction, etc. To utilize the properties of both wires, the wire should be bi-dimensional. Dual-dimensional wire is one such wire with different dimensions in the anterior and posterior sections. Henceforth the primary aim of this study was to evaluate by a questionnaire about the knowledge and awareness of Bi dimensional archwires among the dentists
