How does it work?
Orthodontic appliances may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to a corrected position.
This is a great time to wear braces! Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can choose the color of the elastic bands that assist in moving teeth during treatment. Wires are also less noticeable than they used to be and the latest materials move teeth faster with less discomfort to patients.
