Lingual braces are a special type of braces that are placed on the back side of your teeth, next to your tongue. This makes them completely hidden from view when you smile, talk, or laugh. Because of this, they are a great option for people who want to straighten their teeth but don’t want others to see their braces.
-
Just like traditional braces, lingual braces use brackets and wires to gently move your teeth into the right position. The only difference is that instead of being on the front of your teeth, the brackets are attached to the inside. This means you can still get the same great results as traditional braces, but with a more invisible look.
-
Lingual braces are custom-made for each patient, so they fit the unique shape of your teeth. This helps make them more comfortable to wear and allows them to move your teeth in a very precise way.
-
They can fix many different orthodontic problems, including crooked teeth, gaps, and bite issues. Whether you have a mild case or a more complex one, lingual braces might be a good solution.
-
Because of their position, lingual braces can sometimes take a little getting used to. Some patients may notice a slight change in their speech at first, but this usually improves quickly. It’s also important to keep them clean by brushing and flossing carefully since they can trap food just like traditional braces.
-
Overall, lingual braces are a fantastic choice if you want to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. If you’re looking for a hidden way to get a beautiful smile, talk to your orthodontist to see if lingual braces are right for you.
