Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are the same as traditional metal braces, except that the brackets and wires are on the inside of teeth, so no one will know you are wearing braces. Lingual braces or Incognito™ braces are a popular alternative to conventional braces. They are customizable to fit the rear of teeth and help solve problems with bite and crowding concerns. Lingual braces are as safe and effective as traditional metal braces.
How Do Lingual Braces Differ from Conventional Braces?
The largest difference between traditional braces and lingual braces is that the lingual braces are fitted to the back of the teeth, while conventional braces are fitted to the front of the teeth. Lingual braces are also custom-made based on a mold taken off your teeth. This mold goes to a lab, where it is used to create custom brackets for your teeth.
