Q: What do braces do, exactly?
A: Braces move teeth from to be.
The movement is a slow process that takes at least a year, and more typically 2
to 2'/> years.
Q: How do braces do that?
A: The concept is simple. A strong
wire, anchored to a metal anchor wrapped around the back molars, exerts steady
pressure against the rest of the teeth and pushes them into place.
Q: Aren't braces just for
cosmetic purposes?
A: They can be, but there are genuine
health reasons for them. Misaligned teeth can result in jaw problems later in
life, for example. Crowded teeth can be difficult or impossible to clean
properly, which can lead to severe tooth and gum problems.
