Lingual Braces
(Hidden)
Lingual braces are a type of orthodontic appliance that is similar to traditional braces but with a key difference in placement.
What are Lingual Braces??
Lingual fixed appliances are the most appropriate choice for those who want to keep their orthodontic treatment as discreet as possible. The outcome and comfort of lingual appliances require higher levels of orthodontic expertise. The success of the fitting and adjustments of the appliance system are very technique sensitive. Due to the location of the brackets on the inside of the teeth, subtle differences in the bonding/glueing protocol and the way the wire is shaped can have a significant impact in the patients’ comfort during the treatment.
Why Do People Get
Lingual Braces?
Placement
Lingual braces are custom-made for each patient and are bonded to the inner surfaces of the teeth facing the tongue. This positioning makes them virtually invisible from the outside.
Effectiveness
Lingual braces are effective for treating various orthodontic issues, including misalignments, crowding, and bite problems.
Discreet Treatment
The primary advantage of lingual braces is their discreet nature. Because they are on the inner side of the teeth, they are not visible when the person smiles.
Customization
Lingual braces are individually customized to fit each patient's teeth, providing a comfortable and precise fit.
