COMMON BASIC ORTHODONTIC QUESTIONS

PART 1

How do braces straighten crooked teeth?

Braces use steady, gentle pressure over time to move teeth into their proper
positions. They don't look like there doing much just silting there, but in fact there's
something happening every moment during your orthodontic treatment!

The main components for tooth movement are braces attached to the teeth, o wire
uniting the braces, and teeth of course! Light wires used during the beginning of
orthodontic treatment have 'memory' that when bent to the position of crooked
teeth apply light pressure to guide teeth into alignment. Sometimes these wires
are even temperature sensitive, allowing the patient to manage their activation
and therefore level of comfort. Finishing archwires may be bent if necessary to
reflect your 'ideal` bite - what we want you to look like after treatment. Thanks to
advances in the technology of braces and wires all this happens much quicker and
gentler than ever before - an engineering miracle!

Patients also contribute to achieving a healthy and beautiful treatment resutt. The
importance of cooperation with oral hygiene and care of the braces cannot be
minim iz ed. Healthy tissues allow teeth to move more predictably and efficiently
during treatment. Rubber bands or elastics are often utilized to achieve straighter
teeth and bite coordination. When attached to your braces, elastics exert the force
that creates the right amount of pressure to move teeth in directions that the braces
alone can't. A lack of consistency in wearing rubber bands can create discomfort
or bring treatment to a standstill. TS& never fail to move when elastics are worm
GS directed!
