How do braces work? – Dental Braces in Jaipur

Dental braces are attached to the teeth with wires passing through them. The braces exert mild pressure on the teeth to move them into their desired position. The forces exerted by the braces system cause remodeling of the surrounding bone by creating pressure and tension zones. 

Once the teeth reach the new position, the bone can form around them for better stability and improved function. Dental retainer therapy is often indicated after most cases to prevent relapse.

The tiny elastic bands that are used in traditional braces need regular adjustments. Self-ligating braces have a sliding mechanism system to secure the wire. The sliding mechanism reduces the friction between the wire and brackets, which helps in achieving smooth movement.
