How do braces really work?

0

Teeth move very easily with constant light pressure. The wires and elastics provide the pressure to make the teeth move while the braces or brackets allow the wires to apply pressure for tooth movement. Osteoclasts are cells that dissolve bone on the pressure side; osteoblasts are cells that deposit bone on the tension side.
