If you’ve been researching orthodontic treatments, you may have across the term social 6, but what does this mean and should you be searching for a treatment that focuses on the social 6?

The social 6 is the name given to the six teeth on the top and bottom arches at the front of the mouth; these are the teeth that can be seen when you smile. If you have issues with your front teeth only, it’s often beneficial to look for a treatment, which focuses on these teeth, as they are designed to provide the best aesthetics. One of our most popular social 6 treatments is STb Social 6 lingual braces.

What are lingual braces?

Lingual braces are fixed braces, which are applied to the back of the teeth instead of the front; these braces work in a similar way to traditional fixed braces, but they are completely invisible when you smile. The fact that nobody can see your braces makes most people feel more confident and attractive when they have treatment.

STb Social 6 braces are specially designed to address problems with the front teeth; they work quickly and painlessly to straighten the teeth and solve problems with misalignment to give you a stunning secret smile.

How long does STb Social 6 treatment take?

STb Social 6 braces are generally recommended for patients who have either minor or moderate orthodontic issues, so treatment times are very short. Most cases are complete within just 16 weeks, making this one of the speediest options around. As treatment works so quickly, this is often a very popular treatment for people who want to look their best for an upcoming special occasion, such as a wedding, a graduation ceremony or an important interview.
