Understanding Metal Braces: Parts & Function
Brackets (metal braces squares on teeth)
Archwire (metal wire in braces)
Ligatures (elastic ties for braces)
The Role of Stainless Steel Brackets
These small metal or clear squares are bonded to the front surface of each tooth. They act as anchors, providing a secure grip for each tooth to be moved into the ideal position in your smile.
Dynamics of Archwires
This thin, flexible metal wire is the real muscle behind the movement. The archwire connects all the brackets and is gradually adjusted to gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions.
Unstoppable fun with colourful elastic ties
The sky's the limit with braces colours you can get! Design your perfect colour combination based on your mood, fashion style, sporting team, and match them with your friends!
These colourful elastics (also sometimes clear or metal) are the unsung heroes. They hold the archwire securely in the brackets, applying constant pressure for tooth movement.
