Why do teeth move when you have braces?
Orthodontists will want certain teeth extracted (usually premolars) to make more room in your mouth so they can align your teeth properly. Your mouth and jaw may be too small for all your teeth.
What is a brace for your tooth?
'Braces' are pieces of metal (called brackets) which are fixed onto your teeth. They are connected by a metal wire running through them. Braces are used by orthodontics and are fixed onto teeth. The brackets and the wire put pressure on the teeth and move them into being in the perfect, straight position, leaving you with perfect straight teeth! every six weeks or so the orthodontist will tighten the wire on the braces (roughly six weeks is how long it takes for teeth to move into their new positions) and this will gradually move the teeth into the correct positon. -
How did the cotton gin work?
First, the cotton balls were put into the top of the machine. Next, you turn the handle, which turns the cotton through the wire teeth that combs out the seeds. Then the cotton is pulled out of the wire teeth and out of the cotton gin.
Do braces change the shape of your teeth a lot within 2 weeks?
Yes, since during the beginning of braces there is s much to do, the wire will move the teeth quite a bit the first few weeks because the wire wants to be straight.
Is chewing wires good?
No, chewing wires is not good for you. The chemicals in the outside of the wire, if swallowed, could potentially harm you. Plus, it isn't very good for your teeth, as the same chemicals on the outside of the wire could harm your teeth, and chewing on wires could also wear down your teeth much faster than normal people's teeth would wear down. It is not good to chew wires.

They are metal circles that they cement on your four back teeth, they help keep the wire on your teeth.
What appliance is responsible for tooth movement?
For tooth movement, your dentist can recommend you to an orthodontist. There, depending on your teeth, he will decide if you need treatment. If you do, he usually will give you braces, but he may also use retainers, permanant retainers, or invisible braces. Each part of the braces has some part in moving the teeth. The wire guides your teeth, and the brackets attach your teeth to the wire. If you get rubber bands, they help to move your jaws closer together. The orthodontist may also use stoppers, or little balls of glue, to keep your wire from sliding around much. He also uses elastics, which looks like a chain of many tiny rubber bands attached together, which he would put around each of your brackets to keep your teeth from spacing out.
What do they do when you get braces at the dentists?
They put cement on your teeth and put these little things that hold the wire on your teeth... its not fun, but it doesnt hurt, plus it doesnt hurt getting them off. I got mine off last year.
