Lingual braces, also known as lingual orthodontics, offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces by being placed on the inner surface of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside. This innovative orthodontic treatment allows patients to achieve a straighter smile without the aesthetic concerns associated with conventional braces. Next, we’ll explore the procedures involved, benefits, risks, and why Dentiva Clinic is the ideal choice for lingual braces treatment.
During the initial consultation, the orthodontist assesses the patient's oral health and discusses treatment goals. Impressions or digital scans of the teeth are taken to create customized lingual braces.
Customized brackets are fabricated and bonded to the inner surface of the teeth using dental adhesive. Archwires are then threaded through the brackets and adjusted to apply gentle pressure to move the teeth into alignment.
Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to adjust the tension of the wires and monitor progress. These adjustments ensure that the teeth gradually shift into their desired positions over time.
Patients receive instructions on proper oral hygiene and care for their lingual braces. This includes avoiding certain foods that may damage the braces and maintaining regular dental check-ups.
Once treatment is complete and the desired results are achieved, the lingual braces are carefully removed, and any remaining adhesive is polished off the teeth.

No, lingual braces are mounted on the back of the teeth, so they are not visible from the front. This makes them an “invisible” brace option.
It can take 2-4 weeks to fully adapt to lingual braces. Speech and eating may be impacted at first. Discomfort and tongue irritation usually subsides within a couple weeks as your mouth adjusts.
Eating will require more caution and patience initially. Hard, crunchy, or chewy foods should be avoided to prevent damage to the braces. Most people can resume a relatively normal diet after the adjustment period.
Yes, lingual braces tend to cost more than traditional metal braces. The customized brackets and more complex placement raise the overall cost of treatment.
Lingual braces can temporarily impact speech and cause a lisp. This usually resolves within a couple weeks as your tongue learns to adapt to the braces.
Lingual braces are not suitable for every orthodontic case. There must be enough space on the tongue side of the teeth to allow bracket placement. Your orthodontist will determine if you are a good candidate.
