Answers: Like if you got teeth problems(physical ones) like overlapping of teeth, how do braces work in correcting them to their normal state?

Braces slowly move the teeth into the correction position so that any eating or speech problems may also be corrected. Much like the same way an erupting tooth with not much space to grow may shift other teeth in it's way, therefore making the other surrounsding teeth crooked.

when teeth are overlapping, braces help them slowly move back

into place when your teeth are still growing

GOOD LUCK!!!

okay well when they put your braces on they glue the brackets to the front of your teeth and place a wire through the slots in the braces. then they tighten this wire which puts gentle pressure on your teeth. this process pulls your teeth in the correct positions and holds them there. Then after braces are off you'll get a retainer(s) this holds your teeth in place so that they don't shift back again.
