THE LINGUAL ORTHODONTICS AND THE SOCIAL SIX: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Lingual orthodontics has emerged as an effective alternative to address the growing demand for discreet orthodontic treatment, particularly among adult patients. The primary motivation for seeking orthodontic care is often the desire to improve facial aesthetics, driving a significant increase in the number of adults pursuing corrective dental procedures over the past two decades. This case report highlights the Social Six Technique, developed by Scuzzo and Takemoto, as a streamlined and efficient solution for treating Class I malocclusion with anterior crowding. This technique offers a fast, precise, and practical approach to achieving optimal results, making it a cost-effective alternative to systems like Invisalign™ and other aligner-based treatments.
