If you are a client-facing professional, or have a wedding or important event on the horizon, you don’t want your orthodontic treatment on display. That’s where lingual braces come in. These incredibly discreet braces are completely hidden from view when you smile.
Lingual braces work with the same system of metal brackets, wires and elastic ligatures as traditional metal braces. What makes lingual braces so special is that the brackets are fitted to the back side of your teeth instead of the front - completely hiding them from view.
Because they are so discreet, lingual braces are a popular choice for celebrities and other adults in the public eye. With lingual braces, no one needs to know you’re undergoing treatment.
Lingual braces may affect your speech for a day or two as your tongue adjusts to your new appliance. Your speech will soon return to normal, however, and any discomfort caused by the adjustment period can be remedied with orthodontic wax or over-the-counter pain relief.
Lingual braces are the ultimate in discretion. You can smile confidently in your photos all throughout treatment, knowing your braces are safely hidden from view.
