life c Iles Ask the Orthodontist How do braces straighten crooked teeth? Ask the Orthodontist Dr. Nelson Hersh and Dr. Marsha Beattie Licensed Specialists for Children & Adults West Bloomfield Commerce Township 248.926.4100 Waterford 248-673-4100 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! Jacob Samuel Goldberg, son of Devra and Steve Goldberg, will lead the congregation at Temple Israel in West I 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!
