How does Orthodontic treatment work?
Braces and aligners use steady gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into their proper positions.
For braces, the brackets that are placed on your teeth and the archwire that connects them are the main components. When the archwire is placed into the brackets, it tries to return to its original shape. As it does so, it applies pressure to move your teeth to their new, more ideal positions.
