Medical grade Stainless Steel Cross slot base for reliable bonding force Bite turbos are small metal or acrylic (pink/tooth color) blocks that are placed in the front (anterior bite turbo) or back (posterior bite turbo) of your mouth in order for the teeth to move more rapidly. When the teeth aren't biting together tightly (as they did before braces were placed) they can freely move into the correct position. When upper and lower braces are placed at the same time, in many instances, the top teeth bite down and contact the lower braces This will cause discomfort to the patient, and will prevent the lower teeth from aligning properly To avoid these unfavorable issues, Bite Turbos are placed on the back of the upper front teeth, or on the biting surfaces of the back molars, to act as ramps or speed bumps, to prevent the patient from biting all the way down.
