Why Lingual Braces?
There are several reasons why someone might
choose lingual braces Aesthetics One of the
primary reasons people opt for lingual braces is
their nearly invisible placement. Since the
braces are attached to the back surfaces of the
teeth, they are hidden from view when you smile,
talk, or laugh. This makes lingual braces an
attractive choice for individuals who desire a
more discreet orthodontic treatment
option. Professional or social considerations
Lingual braces can be particularly appealing for
individuals in professional or public-facing
roles where maintaining a polished appearance is
important. They allow you to straighten your
teeth without drawing attention to the fact that
you are undergoing orthodontic treatment. Self-co
nfidence Many people feel self-conscious about
wearing traditional braces, especially as adults.
Lingual braces offer a way to address orthodontic
concerns without compromising self-confidence or
causing social discomfort. Treatment
customization Lingual braces are custom-made to
fit the unique shape and contours of your teeth.
This personalized approach allows for precise
tooth movement and alignment, resulting in an
efficient and effective treatment.

What to Know About Lingual Braces?
Here are some key points to know about lingual
braces Invisible placement Lingual braces are
attached to the back surfaces of the teeth,
making them virtually invisible from the front.
This makes them a popular choice for individuals
who desire a more discreet orthodontic
treatment. Customization Lingual braces are
customized to fit the unique shape of each
individual's teeth. Impressions or digital scans
of your teeth are taken to create personalized
brackets and wires that will be attached to the
back of your teeth. Treatment duration The
treatment duration with lingual braces can vary
depending on the complexity of your case and the
specific goals you have for your smile. It
typically ranges from several months to a few
years, similar to traditional braces. Oral
hygiene Proper oral hygiene is crucial during
lingual braces treatment. Since the braces are
positioned on the back of the teeth, it may
require some extra effort and time to clean them
effectively. Your orthodontist will provide
instructions on how to maintain good oral hygiene
and may recommend specific tools to assist in
cleaning.

How Do They Work?

• Lingual braces work precisely the same as
  traditional braces. They are made up of the same
  material and thus, fix the same dental problems.
  Every six to eight weeks, your orthodontist will
  schedule an appointment and adjust them to help
  your teeth shift into their proper positions.

Do Lingual Braces Take Longer?
Regardless of the type of braces you choose,
orthodontic treatment takes time. But do lingual
braces take longer to complete treatment?
Compared to traditional metal braces, lingual
braces may take slightly longer, depending upon
the complexity of the case. Impression making is
a critical step in the case of lingual braces as
they are custom fabricated due to the position of
the premolars. Lingual orthodontics can be used
for all malocclusions but may not be recommended
for severe cases of deep bites and overjets due
to the lack of space for brackets when the
individual bites. Lingual braces generally do
not take longer than traditional braces to
achieve the desired results. The treatment
duration for lingual braces is similar to that of
conventional braces and depends on the complexity
of the individual case, the specific orthodontic
issues being addressed, and the goals of the
treatment. The length of orthodontic treatment
can vary widely among patients, regardless of
whether they are using lingual braces or
traditional braces. Some cases may require only a
few months, while others may take a few years to
achieve the desired tooth alignment and bite
correction.
