Anna Weigel: 我小时候因为牙齿不齐而戴了牙套，现在牙齿很整齐。我一直很好奇牙套是如何让牙齿变整齐的。我戴牙套的经历让我明白了保持牙齿清洁的重要性，因为食物很容易卡在牙套里。所以，我建议戴牙套的人每次饭后都要刷牙，用牙线或者水牙线清洁牙齿。 Dr. Arnaud Wright: 牙套主要由三个部分组成：托槽、弓丝和橡皮筋。托槽是粘在每颗牙齿上的小方块，弓丝连接所有的托槽，橡皮筋则用于提供额外的力量。牙套通过长时间对牙齿施加轻微的力量，使牙齿逐渐移动到理想的位置。正畸医生会制定详细的计划，精确地控制牙齿移动的方向和距离。戴牙套需要很长时间，因为牙齿的移动是一个缓慢而渐进的过程。除了美观之外，牙套还有助于改善口腔卫生，使牙齿更容易清洁。
