Braces use steady, gentle pressure over time to move teeth into their
proper positions. They don't look like they're doing much just sitting
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, a 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 result. The importance of cooperation with oral hygiene and
care of the braces cannot be minimized. 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. Teeth
never fail to move when elastics are worn as directed!
