What are lingual braces?
Unlike traditional braces, lingual braces are placed on the back side of the teeth (towards the tongue and palate), making them invisible. This provides a significant aesthetic advantage, as the braces are not noticeable at all during treatment. Lingual braces are also used to correct crowding, misalignment, and other orthodontic issues. They are a perfect choice for individuals who prefer a less noticeable and more comfortable option during the treatment process.
Lingual Braces: An Aesthetic Solution with Invisible Brackets!
Invisible: Lingual braces are completely hidden from view, making them an ideal solution for patients who wish to undergo orthodontic treatment for professional or personal reasons without revealing it. You won’t need to disclose that you're having your teeth straightened, and your natural smile remains unaffected.
Lingual braces are a true alternative to traditional fixed braces. This system allows for the correction of more complex orthodontic cases. Offering a broader range of treatment possibilities, lingual braces enable the resolution of various dental alignment issues.
Fixed braces on the front surface of the teeth can lead to white spots if oral hygiene is poor. With lingual braces, this is not a concern since the front surfaces of the teeth remain exposed. Recent scientific studies show that the risk of tooth decay is five times lower with lingual braces compared to traditional ones. That’s why lingual braces are considered one of the best choices for achieving a perfect smile.

Questions and answers about lingual braces (invisible braces)
1. What are lingual braces and why are they called “invisible braces”? Lingual braces are a type of orthodontic system placed on the back (tongue-side) surfaces of the teeth. Because they are not visible from the front, they are often referred to as “invisible braces.” They offer both aesthetic and functional advantages.
3. How are lingual braces different from other invisible braces? When we talk about invisible braces, we usually refer to both clear aligners and lingual braces. However, lingual braces are fixed to the back surfaces of the teeth, allowing for stronger orthodontic control. This makes them more effective in treating complex dental cases compared to removable aligners.
2. How long does it take to get used to back-of-the-teeth braces? Back-of-the-teeth braces (lingual braces) are positioned close to the tongue, which may cause mild speech discomfort during the first few days. However, most patients fully adapt within a week and continue speaking comfortably.
4. What should you consider when choosing between invisible braces and traditional braces? If aesthetic appearance is important to you, invisible braces—especially lingual braces placed behind the teeth—are an ideal choice. However, factors such as jaw structure, budget, and the complexity of treatment should also be considered when making the final decision.
