Traditional Braces consist of brackets bonded to the front part of the teeth. They all come in different shapes and sizes. Each bracket has edges with metal or rubber bands tied around to hold an orthodontic wire in place. The wires are gradually replaced as the teeth recover to enable alignment; the wire allows the teeth to move and the bracket acts as an anchor.
