Dental braces are removable devices, adjusting the position of the teeth during malocclusion. These are a series of locks, which are glued with a special dental adhesive (bond) on the outer or inner surface of the teeth. A bracket has a groove, where there is an orthodontic archwire with "shape memory". The resistance of the arch at its bend on the curved jaw is the force that slowly but steadily aligns dentition during the orthodontic treatment with braces.
