How Do Braces Work?

Once placed on your teeth, braces place constant pressure on your teeth, and the force of the pressure helps move teeth into the proper position. At each appointment, your orthodontist may tighten the arch wires. In addition to braces, some patients may need to wear rubber bands or headgear. Patients wearing braces may notice their teeth feeling a little loose. This is normal and temporary; once the teeth are done moving, this feeling will go away.

What Are Metal Braces Made Of?

Traditional metal braces are made of high-quality stainless steel or titanium. The three main parts of your braces are:
  • Brackets — Brackets are attached to the teeth using special glue that bonds them to the tooth surface and holds them in place.
  • Archwire — The archwire is the thin metal wire that connects each bracket and puts pressure on the teeth to help guide them into place.
  • Ligature Elastic (also known as the “rubber bands”) —Elastics, or rubber bands, are the colored ties that hold the archwires to the brackets. Your orthodontist will change the elastics at each appointment. Elastics may come in a variety of colors.
