STb Social 6 braces are lingual braces that straighten the teeth quickly and discreetly. Lingual braces are a great solution for patients who are concerned about having treatment for aesthetic reasons. These braces are fixed to the teeth, but instead of being on the front of the teeth the are on the back.

About STb Social 6 braces

STb Social 6 braces are designed specifically for patients who have issues with the ‘social 6’. This term describes the six front and bottom teeth, which can be seen when you smile. STb Social 6 braces are attached to the back of the teeth to provide an invisible solution for patients with minor orthodontic problems such as slight crowding or small gaps between the front teeth.

How do lingual braces work?

Lingual braces, like conventional braces, are made from brackets and wires that generate forces to move the teeth. The only real different is that lingual braces are attached to the back of the teeth so that they cannot be seen and do not impact on the aesthetic of the smile. STb Social 6 braces use self-ligating wires to reduce friction and improve comfort. This technology also accelerates the speed of tooth movement.

Could I benefit from lingual braces?

If you have minor issues affecting your front teeth and want a treatment that works quickly without impacting on the look of your smile during the treatment process, you may wish to consider STb Social 6 braces.

Treatment time for this system is very short, with an average completion time of just 16 weeks and the braces are light and comfortable.
