What Are Lingual Braces?

Lingual braces are fitted to the inside surfaces of your teeth, making them truly invisible when you smile. They use small brackets and wires to provide gentle, continuous tooth movement and offer the precision of fixed braces without visible metalwork on the front of your teeth.

Key Benefits of Lingual Braces

Because they remain in place throughout treatment, they are always working and do not depend on remembering to wear and replace an appliance. They can be used for many different orthodontic concerns, including cases requiring complex or particularly precise tooth movements.

What to Expect

Your tongue may initially feel the brackets, and some patients notice temporary changes to their speech while they adapt. Cleaning behind the teeth requires additional care, and regular appointments are needed to adjust the appliance and monitor your progress.
