Lingual Braces
SureSmile has a lingual or behind teeth braces option called SureSmile QT.
With lingual braces, brackets are adhered to the underside of the teeth on the to arch, bottom arch or both arches. Most patients choose lingual braces for aesthetic reasons, as they cannot be seen. Orthodontists that offer lingual braces will often suggest putting lingual braces on the upper teeth and clear ceramic braces on the bottom though patients can choose to have lingual braces on both arches. A news segment on WGN-TV Medical Watch recently featured SureSmile QT and explains that the same SureSmile robotic technology is used for the behind teeth braces.

Famous quotes containing the word braces:
“I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
