InBrace SmartWires are characterized as what?

• A. Self-ligated, lingual brackets digitally programmed with alternating Locking Loops and Interproximal Loops
• B. Direct-bonded ceramic brackets
• C. Removable aligners
• D. Elastic-ligated metal braces

Answer: (A)

InBrace SmartWires are a fixed, lingual appliance designed to stay on the tongue-side of the teeth. The brackets are self-ligating, meaning no external elastics or ligatures are needed to secure the archwire. What sets SmartWires apart is the archwire itself, which is digitally programmed with alternating Locking Loops and Interproximal Loops along its length. These loops provide precise engagement points that hold the wire in place and guide its movement, allowing three‑dimensional control of tooth movements. The digital programming aspect means the treatment plan is designed in software, so the clinician places specific loops at strategic positions to deliver the desired forces and moments on each tooth. This combination—fixed lingual brackets, self-ligation, and a looped, software-planned wire—creates a discreet, continuous biomechanics system without elastics, unlike removable aligners or elastic-ligated traditional braces.
