Lingual Braces: Your Secret Path to a Confident, Straighter Smile

Unveiling the Invisible Transformation

Are you dreaming of a perfectly straight smile but dread the thought of visible braces? Lingual braces offer the ultimate discreet orthodontic solution, working their magic entirely out of sight. Placed on the inside (lingual) surface of your teeth, these innovative braces are custom-made to fit the unique contours of your mouth, delivering exceptional results without anyone ever knowing you're wearing them.

What are Lingual Braces?

Lingual braces are a cutting-edge orthodontic appliance designed to straighten your teeth discreetly. Unlike traditional braces, which attach to the front of your teeth, lingual braces are bonded to the back, tongue-side surface. This makes them virtually invisible to others, providing a confident and aesthetic treatment experience for adults and teens who prioritize discretion.

Each bracket is typically custom-fabricated using advanced 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology, ensuring a precise fit and optimal tooth movement for your individual orthodontic needs.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Truly Invisible Orthodontics

• Ultimate Discretion: Placed on the inside of your teeth, lingual braces are completely hidden from view, making them the most aesthetic fixed orthodontic option available. Smile, speak, and laugh with absolute confidence throughout your treatment.
• Professional & Social Freedom: Maintain your professional image and enjoy social interactions without feeling self-conscious about visible dental hardware.

2. Personalized Precision Treatment

• Custom-Made Brackets: Utilizing advanced technology, each bracket is custom-designed and fabricated to perfectly match the unique shape of your teeth, ensuring maximum comfort and highly efficient tooth movement.
• Tailored Archwires: Specially bent and customized archwires guide your teeth precisely according to your individualized treatment plan, leading to predictable and effective results.
• Comprehensive Correction: Capable of treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, from simple alignment to complex bite problems, including crowding, spacing, rotations, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

3. Constant & Consistent Straightening

• Fixed Appliance: Unlike removable aligners, lingual braces are always working. There's no need to remember to insert or remove them, ensuring consistent pressure and continuous progress towards your dream smile.
• No Compliance Worries: Eliminate concerns about lost aligners or insufficient wear time, making your treatment journey straightforward and efficient.

4. Durable & High-Quality Materials

• Crafted from robust, high-grade alloys, lingual braces are designed for durability and longevity throughout your treatment period.

How Lingual Braces Work

Your journey with lingual braces begins with a comprehensive consultation and detailed diagnostics. Our orthodontist will take precise impressions or 3D digital scans of your teeth. These models are then used to custom-design your unique set of brackets and wires using specialized software (e.g., Incognito™, WIN® Lingual Systems, SureSmile® Lingual).

Once your custom braces are fabricated, they are meticulously bonded to the back surface of each tooth. Over time, gentle, continuous pressure exerted by the archwires guides your teeth into their desired positions. Regular adjustment appointments (typically every 6-8 weeks) ensure your treatment stays on track and progresses as planned.

The Treatment Journey

1. Initial Consultation: A thorough examination, discussion of your aesthetic goals, and assessment of your orthodontic needs to determine if lingual braces are right for you.
2. Diagnostic Records: Digital scans or impressions, X-rays, and photographs are taken to create a precise 3D model of your teeth.
3. Custom Fabrication: Your personalized brackets and wires are custom-designed and manufactured based on your unique dental anatomy and treatment plan.
4. Bonding Appointment: The custom-made braces are meticulously bonded to the back of your teeth.
5. Adjustment Appointments: Regular visits to the orthodontist for wire adjustments and progress monitoring.
6. Retention: Once your treatment is complete, a retainer (fixed or removable) will be provided to ensure your newly straightened smile remains perfect for years to come.

Care & Maintenance

Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial with lingual braces. You'll need to brush carefully after every meal and floss daily, using specialized tools like floss threaders or interdental brushes to navigate around the brackets and wires. Avoiding hard, sticky, or chewy foods will help prevent damage to your braces. Regular dental cleanings are also highly recommended.

Who is a Candidate for Lingual Braces?

Most individuals seeking orthodontic treatment are potential candidates for lingual braces. They are an excellent option for:

• Adults and teens concerned about the aesthetics of visible braces.
• Professionals, public speakers, musicians, or athletes who require an undetectable orthodontic solution.
• Patients who prefer a fixed appliance over removable aligners.

During your consultation, our orthodontist will thoroughly assess your case to determine if lingual braces are the ideal choice for achieving your smile goals.

Common Questions & Concerns

• Speech Changes: You may experience a temporary lisp or slight speech adjustment during the first few weeks as your tongue adapts to the presence of the braces. This typically resolves quickly.
• Initial Comfort: There may be some initial discomfort or tongue irritation as you adjust. Orthodontic wax can be used to alleviate this, and your mouth will adapt over time.
• Treatment Duration: The treatment time with lingual braces is generally comparable to that of traditional braces, depending on the complexity of your case.
• Cost: Due to the advanced technology and customization involved, lingual braces may have a higher cost than traditional braces or clear aligners. We offer flexible payment plans and will discuss all financial options during your consultation.
