What are lingual braces?

Many people feel unhappy about the way they look because of orthodontic problems such as crooked, gappy, crowded, twisted or misplaced teeth.

 

LINGUAL BRACES FOR OVERBITES, UNDERBITES AND OTHER DENTAL PROBLEMS

Such problems can also affect the shape and appearance of the face in other ways and, as well as solving most orthodontic problems, life-changing teeth straightening braces can also improve your facial definition.

Teeth straightening treatments produce a fuller and more balanced smile, which could help to strengthen support for facial muscles.

Many of our patients at Wytes say that, after treatment, they now look and feel younger.

Some adults, however, discount teeth straightening because they would feel self-conscious about wearing very noticeable, conventional metal braces.

Lingual braces behind teeth

Lingual braces, also known as “incognito braces”, remove this problem because they’re hidden from sight.

Unlike conventional braces, which often feature metal brackets placed on the front of the teeth, lingual braces are placed behind the teeth. (The definition of lingual is simply “relating to or near the tongue”.)

Because lingual braces are discretely hidden, people will not know you’re having teeth straightening treatment unless you choose to tell them.

LINGUAL BRACES REVIEW

Your lingual braces are tailor-made for you so they fit your teeth comfortably and give you precise results at the end of your treatment.

Brackets for lingual braces are individually made for each tooth (unlike the brackets mass produced for traditional braces).

Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, which makes the build up of plaque, tooth decay and gum disease less likely.
