Pierre Fauchard really impacted the dentistry world and orthodontic world by being so interested in the mouth and its wonders at such a young age. His curiosity lead to inventions being made, and new technology being used with the mouth and teeth. His advancements with braces and teeth have helped the teeth world get to where it is today.

The braces procedure can be lengthy, but will ultimately help achieve a beautiful smile and aligned jaw. Before attaching the brackets, the teeth are cleaned thoroughly and dried well. The glue is then put on and brackets follow. Once cured, the brackets are ready to have a wire threaded through. Lastly, bands are put on to secure the wires in place and keep the teeth moving in the correct direction.

An alternative to braces is Invisalign. Invisalign uses the making of plastic retainers to move the teeth over time. After taking impressions of the teeth, the retainers are made to fit the bit the patient currently has. Over the course of a few weeks, the retainers have already been remolded to fix the teeth. Invisalign is great because it looks like nothing. It also achieves a great smile and alignment just as braces do.
