Because it has to be perfect, this your mouth we are talking about. Everyone's situation is different.Health Question & Answer

Dental appliances have to be fitted almost perfectly.

Very crooked teeth need only be adjusted 1/10 of an inch. Noticably crooked teeth require much less adjustment, measured in 100ths of an inch.

The point is, if your dental appliances are ill-fitting, even by 1/100 of an inch, your teeth will align improperly to the archwire.

It is painstaking, exact work fitting dental appliances - on a squirming subject. Takes hours.Health Question & Answer
