Wild but true: orthodontics works by controlled bone remodeling. 🦴✨
When we apply pressure to your teeth, your body responds by:
• Breaking down bone on one side of the tooth (resorption)
• Building new bone on the other side (deposition)
• Basically sculpting your jawbone cell by cell
That achy feeling after an adjustment? It’s inflammation signaling your bones to get to work. Your teeth aren’t just shifting through your gums - your entire bone structure is being rebuilt around them.
The human body is pretty incredible when you think about it. We’re just steering the process in the right direction. 🎯
