How Do Traditional Braces Work?

Traditional braces use metal brackets that are attached to individual teeth and a metal archwire laced through each of the brackets to gently shift the teeth into their ideal alignment. As the teeth shift over the course of the treatment, Dr. Hao will have you come in every six to eight weeks to tighten the archwire so it can continue to straighten the teeth until your final alignment goals have been reached. Following your treatment, our team will create a retainer for you to wear to help you maintain your results.
