Orthodontic braces are made up of different parts. Each part performs a function that helps the orthodontist bring about a beautiful smile by the end of treatment. While brackets and elastics play important roles, the wiring is the part of the system that is essential in bringing the teeth together in perfectly straight rows. Also known as the archwire, this part of the braces system is the thin wire that passes through each individual bracket (brace). It is held securely in place by the tiny elastic ties or clasps on each bracket. When braces are initially placed and teeth are crooked and irregular, the archwire needs to be flexible so that they can be placed comfortably and without too much force. Modern orthodontic wires have “shape memory,” meaning they can return to their normal shape while in the mouth. This force, in turn, causes the teeth to move as well. As the teeth begin to align, the orthodontist will periodically change these very flexible shape memory wires for others that are more resilient and rigid. A stiffer archwire allows for more precise control over specific tooth movements. This is when fine detailing of each tooth position may be implemented.
