How do braces work?
Orthodontics/ treatment with braces, works on the simple principle of bones resorbing under pressure and forming under tension. When force is applied on the tooth, the bone on the side on which the pressure is applied, slowly dissolves out and the tooth moves into the gap thus created. New bone forms on the bone on the opposite side simultaneously which is experiencing the pull of the force.
This principle of movement of teeth in bones and gradual bone formation is utilized using dental appliances called Braces.
