Braces are appliances that are typically glued to the fronts of teeth. Bands provide an anchor for the device, and wires and brackets connect them. Together, they put pressure on the teeth to encourage them to move. People with braces typically visit an orthodontist every couple of months to adjust the pressure of the appliance. When treatment is complete, the orthodontist removes the braces, and people will often receive a retainer to keep the teeth from shifting back to their old position....

In the case of prostate cancer, brachytherapy may be delivered by implanting seeds directly in the prostate or, less commonly, by inserting a high-dose radioactive needle into the tumor which is later removed. How Brachytherapy Works Brachytherapy works by preventing cancer cells from actively replicating.
