How does it work?

The tooth root is surrounded by a ligament called the periodontal ligament. This ligament is present between the bone and the tooth. This ligament as well as the bone respond to the pressure exerted on them. So, the teeth can be moved through the bone by applying appropriate forces. The basis of the movement is that when prolonged forces are applied on a tooth, the bone changes shape and helps in the movement of the tooth. After your teeth are clean and dry, stainless steel brackets are applied to your teeth. These brackets will make it possible for pressure to be applied evenly to your teeth. Elastic bands are placed around the brackets and they add to the pressure on your jaw and are typical of most ceramic brace treatments. Arch wires connect the brackets on your teeth. They’re the mechanism by which pressure is applied for your teeth to move into place.
