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!

I 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.
