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 refl ect 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!

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!
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 effi ciently 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!
