The Lingual brace offers the perfect solution to orthodontic problems and a step toward a beautiful smile. As the braces are placed on the inside of the teeth, they are a discrete and unique dental care option allowing for the correction of a variety of orthodontic problems including gaps between teeth, crowding and rotated teeth. This article aims to provide the essential information needed to allow clients to gain an insight into the treatment enabling them to make an informed decision.

How can this be?

Lingual braces are composed of metal brackets that are custom-made to fit the individual shape of your teeth and work to effectively straighten your teeth. The treatment is simple as it only requires two visits for the braces to be attached. Firstly, an impression will be taken of your teeth allowing for the dentist to create the foundations of your bespoke braces that perfectly compliment your smile. Following on from this, the lingual braces will be attached and secured into place with a cement and discrete wire application.

The advantages of this dental treatment are apparent in its popularity, particularly amongst adult clients as they offer a much more aesthetically pleasing alternative to conventional braces. Additionally, as the braces cannot be removed, they are a cost effective way to ensure even the more extreme irregularities of the teeth can be straightened out. Although time-frames may vary in terms of how long the braces are needed for, they generally have the desired effect within a 1-3 year period.

This will obviously vary according to each client's specific dental needs and the severity of the orthodontic problem. Furthermore, although the lingual brace is comparatively more expensive to conventional braces, they are a cosmetic brace enabling clients to maintain their level of confidence in work and social settings.
