Brackets : They are attached to the teeth using a special type of glue and that holding brackets in place.

Arch wires : Help to move the teeth by applying force. It is a thin metal wire that connects the brackets.

Ligature : It is the elastic tie or rubber band that holds the metal brackets and arch wire together.
