STb Light Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are attached to the inside or lingual
side of the teeth which makes them completely non-visible. 
This advanced method makes lingual orthodontics particularly
well-suited for adults and especially appealing for adults
whose professions keep them in the public eyes. No one can
tell they are wearing these braces. Patients can enjoy the
process of orthodontia while still retaining a natural smile.
 Braces
are made up of two main components: the small metal pieces
(known as brackets) attached directly to the teeth, and the
wire which connects them together (known as the arch wire).
With standard braces, the brackets are cemented to the front
of the teeth, which are quite uniform in their shape. However,
lingual brackets are attached to the back side of the teeth.
The back side of each tooth has its own unique shape-unlike
the front of each tooth. Each lingual bracket must be custom-formed
to the unique shape of each individual tooth. Thus, only certain
clinicians are able to offer this form of specialized treatment.
With the new STb
light lingual braces, the brackets are now made smaller and more comfortable for wear. STb Light Lingual Social6 is also available as an aligner alternative.
