That's what they did to me. They took my old wires of and got new ones and clipped them and then put them on my teeth. Yeah it's kinda the same thing
The orthodontist applies braces to your teeth and tightens the wires that join the braces. Tightening is usually done on a monthly basis. Your orthodontist will have a game plan in place for how the teeth will be moved, either by wire tightening, or by the use of headgear and/or elastics.
It has the same function as braces, but is only a wire. Like a retainer.
no it doesnt
a braces emotion is a smiley face that shows its braces in its mouth (wire criss cross metal squares on your teeth)
The rubber bands in braces are to cover the wire so that it does not scratch up your gums.
With superglue, small metal brackets and some wire, never really considered this, but it would make an easy project and would look good :)
They are metal circles that they cement on your four back teeth, they help keep the wire on your teeth.
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.
Braces are uncomfortable at first and quiet painful when they tighten them and but the wire on. but once you are used to them you will forget you have them

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.
Special floss threaders are available to make flossing easier. Also if you have the glue on braces (unlike the wrap around, you just glue the brace on) the wire connecting the braces are in the way of flossing. So you have to use your floss and thread it into the wire and floss. (it's hard to floss the back ones) :(
