How fixed braces move teeth
Brackets and archwires transmit forces that move teeth. The orthodontist changes the wire as treatment progresses; the exact wire and visit schedule vary by case. Some patients may need space management: expansion widens the dental arch, enamel reduction removes a small amount of enamel between teeth, and extraction is another possible option. The choice depends on individual assessment, and no one approach fits every bite.

Metal braces or clear aligners?
Fixed braces stay attached; aligners are removable for eating and cleaning. Suitability depends on the bite problem and treatment goals, not simply preference for one appliance. A case may require other appliances or treatment planning beyond either format. Review clear aligner information for the removable option. AAO: Braces
Before and during treatment
Before fixed-brace treatment starts, an orthodontist assesses teeth and bite; dental conditions such as cavities may need care first. Cleaning around brackets and between teeth helps control plaque. Poor cleaning can be associated with permanent white or brown marks on teeth; a dentist can assess any marks that develop. Poor cleaning is also associated with gum swelling and lasting gum damage, though these problems do not happen to everyone. Hard or sticky foods can damage the appliance. A broken bracket or wire should be reported to the treating team. Continue routine dental care alongside orthodontic appointments.

Teeth may be sore for several days after a brace is fitted or adjusted. A rubbing bracket or wire may need temporary wax. Very painful teeth warrant contact with the orthodontist; do not ignore severe or persistent pain. Orthodontic treatment can also shorten tooth roots (root resorption); this is usually limited but can occasionally be substantial. Previous dental trauma matters to risk assessment. After active tooth movement, a retainer helps hold the teeth in place, though some movement back remains possible without appropriate retention.
