DIIt looks painful.
But this isn’t force.
It’s controlled orthodontic traction.
When a tooth is impacted, it’s trapped beneath the gum and unable to erupt naturally. Leaving it there can damage nearby teeth, bone, and alignment.
So here’s what actually happens:
🔬 Step-by-step:
• The tooth is surgically exposed
• A small orthodontic bracket or button is bonded to it
• A fine chain or wire connects it to the brace system
• Gentle, calibrated tension is applied over time
No sudden pulling.
No ripping.
Just gradual biological movement.
Teeth shift because bone remodels under sustained, low force. Cells break down bone on one side and rebuild it on the other.
That’s why it takes weeks to months.
Slow movement protects:
✔ Surrounding bone
✔ Nerve structures
✔ Adjacent teeth
✔ Long-term bite alignment
It looks intense.
But it’s precision biomechanics.
Watch closely — the tension is minimal. The timeline does the work.
