How are lingual braces placed?
At your first appointment, we take a detailed impression of your teeth. This ensures that the brackets for your lingual braces fit perfectly in your mouth.
Fitting lingual braces is a bit more complex than traditional ones because they go on the back of your teeth, where space is limited. To place them correctly, all brackets are cemented at once using a special tray, unlike traditional braces where each bracket is placed one at a time. This custom approach guarantees the best results for your smile.
When are lingual braces a good option?
Lingual braces process
Lingual braces offer a discreet way to straighten your teeth by fitting them behind your teeth. Here’s what you can expect from the process:
Stage one
A digital scan or dental impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom 3D model for your braces.
Stage two
Brackets are then attached to the back of your teeth, connected by a wire that applies gentle pressure to align your teeth.
Stage three
Every 6-8 weeks, you’ll visit your dentist to adjust the braces, gradually achieving your desired smile.
What are the benefits of lingual braces?
Lingual braces offer a discreet way to straighten your teeth, combining the effectiveness of traditional metal braces with the added benefit of being hidden behind the teeth. This means you can go about your day without worrying about what your smile looks like.
They’re custom-made for comfort and can correct complex dental issues, including rotations and gaps. Plus, any potential discolouration from the braces occurs on the inside of the teeth, keeping your smile bright throughout and after the dental treatment.
