Understanding how braces and aligners work is essential for anyone looking to enhance their smile. At Iconic Orthodontics, we focus on the science behind orthodontic tooth movement, providing insights into how our innovative treatments work to create beautiful, aligned smiles.

Braces and aligners function by applying gentle pressure to the teeth over time. This pressure allows the teeth to shift into their desired positions. The process involves a complex interplay of biological responses, where the bone around the teeth begins to adapt to these changes. Here’s a closer look at how this process works:

• Forces Applied: When braces or aligners are placed, they create specific forces that initiate movement. These forces are calibrated carefully to ensure that teeth shift into optimal positions without causing damage.
• Bone Remodeling: The application of a constant force generates biological responses that result in bone remodeling. When a tooth moves, bone is resorbed on one side while new bone is formed on the other side, allowing the tooth to stabilize in its new position.
• Time Factor: Tooth movement is gradual and takes time. The rate of movement varies from person to person based on age, the complexity of the misalignment, and overall dental health. Typically, noticeable results can be seen within a few weeks.
