Metal Braces and Tensile Strength: How They Reshape Jawbone to Treat Crowded Teeth

At Whitey Smile Clinic in Ras Al Khaimah, we believe that understanding the science behind orthodontic treatments helps patients feel more confident about their journey toward a healthier, more beautiful smile.

Metal braces are among the most effective solutions for correcting crowded teeth. Their role goes beyond simply moving teeth — they actively help reshape the jawbone to support proper alignment.

How Do Metal Braces Work?

When metal braces are applied, they exert carefully calculated tensile strength (pulling forces) on the teeth. This controlled force triggers a natural biological process involving:

• Bone Resorption: The jawbone around the tooth root temporarily breaks down to allow the tooth to move into its new, corrected position.
• Bone Remineralization: After the tooth shifts, the body rebuilds new bone in the area to firmly support the tooth in its new alignment.

Through this precise process, metal braces safely and effectively adjust the position and rotation of crowded teeth by reconstructing the bone around them.
