How do braces straighten crooked teeth?

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 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!

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!
