Is changing the wire on your braces considered tightening them?

Changing the wire on braces is not considered tightening them. Tightening braces involves adjusting the tension on the wires to move the teeth progressively toward their desired positions. While changing the wire may provide a sensation of increased pressure, it is primarily done to replace the old wire with a new one that better aligns with the intended teeth movement plan.
