How do teeth move?

677 views

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.

The hole is ‘stretched’ by the continued application of force, and then the gaps are slowly filled in by new bone as it heals. This is part of why you have a retainer to wear even after the correction is done with and it must be worn a lot more at first.
