An orthodontist attaches brackets to each tooth and connects them with a thin metal archwire. This setup is not just sleeker, but also designed to blend in more naturally with your teeth, making them less noticeable.
The braces apply steady pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them to the correct position. This process involves controlled shifts in your bone structure, allowing for effective alignment over time.
You'll have orthodontic appointments for adjustments, typically tightening the archwire, to ensure continuous and optimal movement of your teeth.
Sleeker and significantly more effective in shifting teeth into their desired position
Engineered to ensure minimal discomfort throughout the treatment duration
Designed for a more aesthetic appearance, making them less noticeable than before
