Matt and Vance pretty much summed it all up for you. The only thing I will add is a few pics, one showing how you should wire the branch from the start leaving a little space for the branch to grow. When the space looks like it's starting to close up, it will be time to cut the wire and if need be rewire once again. The other is the special wire cutters Vance mentioned, an invaluable tool for anyone who wires bonsai.
