Orthodontists attach brackets to each tooth and connect them with a thin metal archwire. This updated design not only looks better but also blends more naturally with your teeth, making them less noticeable.
By applying gentle pressure, braces gradually move your teeth to the correct position. This process involves controlled shifts in your bone structure, allowing for effective alignment over time.
You'll need orthodontic appointments for adjustments, usually involving tightening the archwire. These visits ensure consistent progress in tooth movement.
