How Braces Works?
Braces use constant, gentle pressure, which over time, move teeth into their proper positions. Your braces are at work every moment of your orthodontic treatment. The two main components of your braces are: the brackets that are placed on your teeth and the main archwire that connects them.
The bracket is a piece of shaped metal or ceramic that we affix to each tooth. The arch wire is bent to reflect your “ideal” bite. In other words, it reflects the way we want you to look after treatment.
A distorted arch wire exerts a force on each tooth and, as it returns to its ideal, pre-formed shape, it moves the teeth to which it is attached through the bone.
