@anatomyunseen1: What Happens If a Braces Wire Snaps ? Braces use a thin metal archwire to apply gentle pressure that gradually moves teeth into alignment. If the wire snaps, that pressure can change — and the sharp end may irritate the inside of your mouth. That’s why orthodontists usually replace broken wires quickly to keep tooth movement controlled and comfortable. #braces #orthodontics #teethfacts #dentalcare #smileeducation
