The main goal of orthodontic treatment is to correct teeth. The process includes using metal or plastic braces to move teeth. Braces are put on one side of the teeth, typically the front, but can be put on the side facing the tongue. These devices are usually made from stainless steel or porcelain. They are bonded to the center of the teeth with adhesive. Wires are put in slots in the brackets and are used to put in force and guide tooth movement.
