Lingual braces are braces that attach to the back or tongue side of your teeth instead of the front side of your teeth, as you can see in this video:
Most of us are familiar with the traditional metal braces, wires, and brackets that appear on front of the upper and lower teeth. For this reason, some patients who would benefit from corrective braces might be reluctant to consult their orthodontist. The obviousness of frontal braces makes people self-conscious. For those people, there is the additional option of lingual braces.
Each person who needs orthodontic treatment has different needs. While some patient's needs can be met with clear removable orthodontics like Invisalign, many people need the strength and capabilities metal braces provide in order to correctly and effectively align their teeth. Lingual braces provide a way to improve your smile without detracting from your appearance.
