The majority of patients exploring orthodontic therapy realize that a "Great Smile"
will improve their facial symmetry and overall appearance. They desire the benefit of straight teeth but sometimes are hesitant to commit to braces that will show.
For these esthetically conscious children and adults, concealed Lingual orthodontics provides an excellent alternative to traditional braces.
Patients can enjoy the process of orthodontia while still retaining a natural smile. Another popular option among patients desiring cosmetic
orthodontics is a combination of upper concealed and lower clear braces.

Light Lingual is a new look at lingual
While both aligner and ligual treatments are attractive to people requiring an
"invisible solution", many cases are not suitable for aligners because they require
the high level of control that only fixed appliances can provide. With Light Lingual,
you no longer need to worry about patients removing and/or losing appliances, thus
interrupting treatment.
The all-new STb Light Lingual System combines the aesthetics and comfort patients with
the control and ease of use that you need. It's lingual like you've never seen before.
