· Those with gaps, misaligned teeth, or bite issues.

· Those who wish to straighten teeth.

Lingual Braces is an advanced orthodontic treatment designed to be attached to the inner, or lingual, surfaces of teeth, keeping the braces completely hidden from view. Unlike traditional braces, which are fixed to the front of teeth, Lingual Braces allow effective alignment and bite correction while maintaining a natural and confident smile. This discreet design makes lingual braces particularly appealing for adults and professionals who spend significant time in public or social settings, providing an aesthetic solution without compromising orthodontic results.

The braces consist of two main parts; small metal brackets cemented to the back of teeth and a connecting arch wire that applies gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into the correct positions. As the inner surfaces of teeth are uniquely shaped, each bracket must be custom-formed for a precise fit. Our affiliated clinic uses STb light braces by Ormoco, which feature smaller, self-ligating brackets for increased comfort and more efficient tooth movement.

Lingual Braces offer multiple benefits. They remain completely hidden, allowing orthodontic treatment without affecting appearance. The design allows better control of tooth movement and bite correction, providing improved anchorage and alignment. This method supports long-term dental health by gradually correcting misalignments, gaps, and bite problems without compromising natural aesthetics. Patients can enjoy a discreet, effective orthodontic experience while preserving confidence in personal and professional interactions.

Lingual Braces begins by a consultation with the dentist at our affiliated clinic. During this initial visit, a full evaluation is performed, including panoramic and cephalometric X-rays, study models, and a review of medical and dental records. Based on this detailed assessment, a personalized treatment plan is developed to ensure precise alignment, improved bite function, and optimal results.

Pre-orthodontic treatment may be required, depending on dental conditions. This can include procedures such as teeth cleaning, gum treatment, or tooth extraction. Once pre-treatment is complete, detailed impressions of the teeth are taken to create custom lingual brackets. Our affiliated clinic uses STb light braces by Ormoco, which provide smaller, self-ligating brackets for more comfortable and efficient tooth movement.

When the custom braces are ready, they are carefully fitted to the back surfaces of the teeth. The operation time for the fitting process generally ranges from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Following placement, monthly visits are scheduled to adjust the braces, monitor progress, and ensure continuous and precise tooth movement.

Discomfort is common for 1 to 2 days after fitting or adjustments, as teeth, gums, and tongue adapt to the braces. This can usually be managed with standard pain relief. Minimal downtime is required, with most daily activities unaffected. After the braces are removed, retainers are typically worn at night to maintain alignment and protect long-term results. Throughout the treatment, lingual braces provide the benefits of discreet appearance, precise bite correction, and improved dental aesthetics while supporting long-term oral health.
