How do braces straighten teeth?

Braces straighten teeth by exerting continuous, light pressure over time that gradually moves them to the position desired. The brackets, glued onto each tooth, are attached by a wire that is adjusted every so often by an orthodontist. This wire puts pressure on the teeth and the bone around them, causing the bone to reform and permit the teeth to move. As the bone is broken down and renewed due to this pressure, the teeth slowly move into alignment. Want more details ? Visit fmsdental
