Teeth have there own holes in our jaw that keep them in place, so how the fuck do teeth move when you wear braces or invisiline? Do the holes move with the teeth? Our jaws are bone, how does it allow the teeth to move without creating a bigger hole or just making the teeth sideways? Im really confused.
In: Biology
Bone is a living tissue and contains cells that are constantly breaking it down and rebuilding it. The cells that reshape your bone work in response to long term force/stressors on the bone, so applying a gentle force in the same direction for a long time (like with braces) eventually causes reshaping of the bone tissue in that general direction.
