How Do Traditional Braces Work?
Traditional braces work by first placing metal brackets directly onto each tooth using a small amount of dental cement. A wire will then be strung across each arch of teeth in order to help guide their movement, and these wires will be held in place using small elastic bands that are tied onto each bracket. As a patient’s treatment progresses, the wires will be periodically changed to help guide the teeth into a straighter and more appealing orientation.
Important Braces Facts:
- Metal braces are one of the most cost-effective orthodontic treatment options available today.
- The elastic bands come in a wide variety of different colors. For younger patients, they can have fun and personalize their treatment by choosing their favorite combination of colors, and for adults, we can offer more neutral options like gray and white.
