Braces are fixed orthodontic appliances that apply steady, gentle pressure to shift your teeth into their ideal positions and align your bite for a healthy, gorgeous smile.
Braces rely on a system of brackets, archwires and elastics to work together. The brackets are bonded to the teeth. The wires are then threaded through the brackets, serving as a track to guide your teeth into place. Elastics come in many colors and are used to hold the arch wires in place. Elastics are usually changed at each adjustment visit.
