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!

Elliott Ettinger, Hannah Chupack, Sydney Anderson, Jacob Wilson and

Harry Cikra

The Jewish Parents Institute cel-
ebrated the b'nai mitzvah of Sydney

Anderson, Hannah Chupack,
Harry Cikra, Elliott Ettinger and
Jacob Wilson on Saturday, May 10,

at the Jewish Community Center
of Metropolitan Detroit in West
Bloomfield.
Under the direction of their teach-
er, Deb Motley, the students have
read literature dealing with young

adults facing adult situations, studied
intolerance of all types (especially the
Holocaust) and have concentrated on
tikkun olam and tzedakah. Each stu-
dent completed a paper on a Jewish
topic of his or her choice and a com-
munity service project of at least 32
hours. All of the students spent time
with their parents volunteering at the
Yad Ezra Food Pantry in Berkley and
the JFS Fall Fix-Up.
