Lingual braces are fixed to the back (tongue side) of the teeth, so they straighten your smile while staying completely hidden from view.
Quick answer
Lingual braces work like normal braces but are bonded to the inner surface of the teeth, making them invisible from the front. They suit people who want fixed braces without anyone seeing them. They cost more, can take some getting used to for the tongue, and need a skilled orthodontist, but results are excellent.
Who they suit
- People wanting completely invisible treatment.
- Professionals and adults conscious of appearance.
- Those who prefer fixed braces over removable aligners.
Things to consider
- Higher cost than standard braces.
- A short adjustment period for the tongue and speech.
- Cleaning needs extra care.
