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! cj Please call today to schedule your complimentary orthodontic consultation at either of our locations. 2300 Haggerty Rd, Suite 1160, West Bloomfield (248)-926-4100 or 5133 Highland Road Waterford (248) 673-4100. 248-926-4100 www.hershbeattieortho.com ENTERTAINMENT --111110 emcees • djs • lighting production 248.356.6000 www.joecornell.com www.facebook.com/JoeCornellEntertainment SPANISH TUTOR YANY KAHN My home or yours All levels $50/hr (786)673-0570 yany_vil@hotmail.com 1871030 Bina!
