How Do Braces Straighten Teeth?

Braces work by adding pressure on your teeth and slowly moving them into the correct position. Our orthodontists will carefully plan and track your braces treatment every orthodontic visit. Your braces will be tightened and adjusted to ensure your braces are effectively moving your teeth. In this video, our patient is getting her braces tightened with ligatures and power chains to correct her deep bite.

I watched this video before I got my braces, and honestly it wasn't that bad. It depends on the situation whether it would feel hurt or not. My face changed shape after almost 1 year of braces and I really love it, It's like I got my glow up 🤣

Got braces yesterday, wasn't bad I had taken pain meds beforehand. Only discomfort was when the dentist applied pressure on the brackets, I drank lots of cold water and iced coffee most of the day yesterday. But today? Whoo I felt discomfort and some pain, when I ate it was so hard I was scared to break the brackets or damage the wire, if it wasn't for my back teeth I wouldn't have been able to eat anything. Hope this discomfort goes away cause I like to eat and I want to cry because I feel retrained by the braces. They look nice on me but I want to eat 😭

i had my braces on and dentist at starting told us about total money...but after the removal of braces he said i have to pay for I went to another dentist to gain some knowledge about it. My teeth improved but the problem is they are still not aligned. And the new dentist told me about how my teeth are forcefully moved which damaged my roots of the now i am 17 but before old age i will loose all my teeths..and something even can happen related to physicl or mental problems...He spoiled my life 😭😭😭😭 i am not able to do anything how can i Claim him??? No other dentist is giving written certificate and condition of my teeeethh....he spoiled my lyf and i am not able to do anything 😭😭😭😭😭
