Imagine you have a bunch of sticks in the sand. You want them to all be straight, and you plan to accomplish this by gluing a string to each stick and then pulling the string taut. If you glue the string to the same spot on each stick and then pull it, nothing will move. Instead, you have to glue the string to each stick based on where you want the stick to be after the string has been pulled taut.
It's a simplified example, but it's essentially the same process that braces are used, just in a smaller time scale. The brackets are where they are because the wire is pulling them (slowly) from where they are now into alignment with the other brackets, so if your brackets appear misaligned now that does not necessarily mean that they are.

Is it best to brush teeth before using mouthwash?
Mouthwash is not a substitute for tooth brushing. Everyone should brush his or her teeth at least twice daily, and floss once daily. This is the minimum frequency necessary to prevent plaque build-up, and the cavities that can result. Mouthwash is used, not to prevent cavities, but to prevent bad breath. Since you're going to brush and floss, and you want to use mouthwash, it makes more sense to use the mouthwash after brushing and flossing, rather than before, since brushing and flossing stirs up bacteria and other malodorous debris.

How does an orthadantist tighten a retainer?
An orthodontist tightens a retainer by using a special tool to adjust the wire component of the retainer.

The process is typically quick and may require the patient to return for periodic adjustments as needed. Regular check-ups help to ensure the retainer continues to function effectively.
