Lingual Braces is an advanced orthodontic treatment designed to align teeth while remaining hidden from view. Unlike traditional braces that are placed on the front surface of the teeth, Lingual Braces are attached to the inner surfaces that face the tongue. This placement makes the braces almost invisible during speaking or smiling, allowing orthodontic treatment to progress without drawing attention. Lingual Braces use brackets and wires that work in the same way as regular braces, applying gentle and steady pressure to guide teeth into better alignment.

A unique feature of Lingual Braces is the customization of the brackets to fit the shape and size of each tooth’s inner surface. Since every tooth has a different contour, the brackets are carefully crafted to ensure a precise and comfortable fit. With this level of customization, the braces are able to deliver effective and predictable results for a wide range of dental conditions such as teeth crowding, spacing, or bite irregularities. The treatment process requires careful planning and accurate placement, which makes Lingual Braces a more complex but highly effective option compared to standard orthodontic systems.

Lingual Braces provide multiple benefits for patients who prefer a discreet treatment method. The hidden placement preserves a natural-looking smile throughout the orthodontic journey, which is especially valuable in professional or social environments. At the same time, Lingual Braces offer strong corrective power, achieving results comparable to conventional braces. With proper care and cooperation with the dentist at our affiliated clinic, Lingual Braces can help create a healthier bite, improved oral function, and a straighter smile without affecting appearance during treatment.

Lingual Braces begin with consultation with the dentist at our affiliated clinic, where a full dental examination, X-rays, and impressions are taken to design a customized treatment plan. Each set of lingual braces is specially crafted to match the inner contours of the teeth, ensuring both comfort and effectiveness. Once the braces are ready, the dentist bonds the brackets carefully to the back surfaces of the teeth and threads a thin wire through them to begin the alignment process.

The procedure for attaching lingual braces typically takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. After the braces are fitted, the dentist schedules regular follow-up appointments, usually every 4 to 6 weeks, to adjust the wires and monitor progress. Over time, steady pressure guides the teeth into proper alignment, addressing crowding, spacing, or bite irregularities.

One of the main benefits of lingual braces is their discreet appearance, as they remain hidden from view while delivering the same level of effectiveness as traditional braces. They also provide customized precision since each bracket is tailored to the shape of each tooth. Some initial discomfort, tongue irritation, or speech changes may occur during the first few weeks, but this typically improves with adjustment. There is little to no downtime after the procedure, and normal activities such as work or study can be continued immediately, provided good oral hygiene and dietary care are maintained.
