What are lingual braces?

If you are self-conscious about wearing braces and you want your braces to be absolutely invisible, lingual braces could be the solution for you. These innovative braces are so discreet, only you and your dentist will need to know you’re wearing them.

Lingual braces work in a similar way to traditional fixed braces. They are made up of small brackets and archwires that are bonded to your teeth. Unlike traditional fixed braces, lingual braces are fixed to the back of your teeth, so they are incredibly discreet. A lot VIPs and Bollywood/Kollywood celebrities are rumoured to be treated with inside braces.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO WEAR LINGUAL BRACES?

Unlike traditional braces, which sit on the front of your teeth, lingual braces sit behind your teeth, which is why many people have questions about how this feels. You may find speaking is a little strange in the first few days, but the majority of patients report that this goes away once they have adjusted to the change. Like any orthodontic treatment, the surfaces of your teeth may feel sensitive in the days following having your hidden braces fitted. Most patients will eat soft food for the first few days while they get used to their braces.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY LINGUAL BRACES?

Maintaining good oral health throughout your orthodontic treatment is very important. Your braces will give food fragments, bacteria and plaque more places to hide so it’s important to make sure you brush your teeth after every meal or rinse with a fluoride mouthwash if you can’t brush your teeth. A water flosser can help to keep your teeth hygienically clean between visits to the dental hygienist.

FAQs

What are lingual braces, and how do they work?

Lingual braces are braces that are attached to the back of the teeth instead of the front, making them virtually invisible. Lingual braces work the same way as traditional braces, using brackets and wires to straighten teeth.

The length of treatment with lingual braces can vary depending on the individual case. On average, treatment can take between 18-36 months.

Like with traditional braces, you may experience some discomfort or soreness after adjustments with lingual braces. However, the discomfort should only last for a few days.

You can eat and drink most foods with lingual braces. However, you should avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that can damage the braces.

How do I take care of my lingual braces?

To take care of your lingual braces, you should brush and floss regularly. It can be more challenging to clean around the braces since they are attached to the back of the teeth, so it is important to be thorough with your oral hygiene routine. You may also want to use a water flosser or interdental brush to help clean around the braces.

Who is a good candidate for lingual braces?

Lingual braces can be a good option for anyone who wants a discreet orthodontic treatment. However, they may not be suitable for everyone. Your orthodontist can evaluate your individual case to determine if lingual braces are right for you. Lingual braces can also be more challenging to place and adjust, so it is important to choose an experienced orthodontist who specializes in lingual braces.
