Lingual Braces are fixed metal braces placed on the inner (lingual) side of the teeth, making them completely hidden from view during smiles or speech. Also known as internal or behind-the-teeth braces, they offer a truly invisible orthodontic solution.

Unlike clear aligners, lingual braces are suitable for all case types – including complex ones – due to the added control fixed appliances provide. Since they are bonded to the teeth, they eliminate compliance issues, ensuring consistent progress throughout treatment. At our affiliated clinic, STb Light Lingual Braces are used for their small size, reduced speech impact, and comfort.

Lingual Braces are metal brackets and wires placed on the inner side of the teeth, making them completely hidden from view. After taking digital X-rays and impressions, the brackets are custom-made in a lab and bonded behind the teeth. This setup allows for precise tooth movement while keeping the braces invisible.

STb Light Lingual Braces are used for their small size and minimal impact on speech. For minor to moderate cases, STb Social 6 targets the front teeth only. Monthly adjustment visits are needed to track progress and ensure effective treatment.
