Tension is how the braces applied by orthodontists such as Dr Bryan Altshuller work. Many people understand the basics of how braces work. Specifically, they realize that braces are designed to straighten out the teeth. While most do realize this, they do not understand the specifics of how the process works. Basically, the way braces work is through their ability to provide continual dynamic tension on the teeth.

Most will assume that the teeth are supremely solid and extremely difficult to alter. This is true to an extent but when the continual pulling pressure of braces is applied to the teeth, they will slowly move in an incremental manner in the direction they are being pulled. Obviously, this is how the process of straightening the teeth works.

This process certainly is not one that works in a random manner. In other words, the dentist can not simply arbitrarily affix braces to the teeth and not have a clear insight into the specific direction of the tension. Rather, based on careful analysis and diagnosis, an orthodontist will design the proper braces that are extremely precise. That means the direction the will be pulled will be the accurate direction. While the basic principles haven't changed, the duration and the discomfort experienced by the patient have both been reduced by my modern techniques, materials and technologies. In some instances orthodontists use software to predict the post treatment appearance of patients and reduce patient anxiety. Modern Orthodontic practitioners seek to make the overall experience more enjoyable with patient friendly offices, video games, music, reading material adorning their offices. The only tension orthodontist want to see is the dynamic tension that is an essential part of the treatment. Over time, the orthodontic treatments lead to the teeth and jaw being properly and effectively aligned. Such is the goal of Dr Bryan Altshuller and his fellow orthodontists seek.
