Metal braces consist of brackets and wires that are placed on your teeth. The process is a fairly simple one.
First, your teeth are air-dried completely.
Then, the teeth are covered in a bluish liquid called an etchant to help dry the teeth even more.
Next, a strong bonding liquid is placed on the teeth then cured with a special blue light.
Fourthly, cement is then placed directly in the middle of the tooth.
The metal brackets are then placed directly on top of the cement.
After, the special blue light is used again to solidify the cement and to hold the brackets in place.
Lastly, the wires that will help align your teeth are placed to clip on over the brackets and rubber bands are placed over each bracket to help hold the wires in place.
