I m at the halfway mark for my braces and i m started to get excited about the changes in my teeth.
Ceramic braces and rubber bands.
These are connected to the brackets with hooks often connecting the top tooth bracket with the bottom tooth bracket to help adjust the position of the teeth in the mouth and the position of the jaw.
The orthodontist bonds a clear ceramic bracket to the tooth surface and attaches ligatures tiny rubber bands to thin metal archwires to realign the teeth.
They re finally moving having to wear the rubber band.
Ask your orthodontist for tooth colored wire.
The final part of braces are interarch rubber bands which are used to adjust bite and jaw position.
This is a type of ceramic braces where the wire clips directly into the bracket eliminating the need for stainable elastics around each bracket.
Ceramic braces also known as clear braces are orthodontic tools used to straighten teeth and fix bite problems they consist of clear or tooth colored ceramic brackets attached to the surface of your teeth with similarly colored wires and rubber bands which provide more discretion.
This is less noticeable and will blend better with your ceramic braces and clear ligatures.
