Lingual Braces

They are braces that are placed behind your teeth which makes them invisible to other people. Usually, lingual brackets are made of metal and are the best when it comes to aesthetics as they are not on the front of the teeth. They too, are made from metal, except this metal is usually gold instead of silver. Also, instead of simple brackets and wires, the metal attachments cover the entire back of your tooth surface on the tongue-side of your teeth. Lingual braces combine the hidden aspect of Invisalign treatment, but with the study structure of metal braces that can correct bite problems. any discoloration or white spots resulting from wearing braces will be on the inside of the teeth rather than the outside as with traditional metal or ceramic braces. Lingual braces are also custom fit for every patient, which can give a higher level of comfort.

Lingual braces can also cause some difficulties with speech, especially while patients are still adjusting after the brackets are placed. Since the braces are on the backside of your teeth, it may feel unusual at first and you might have a lisp until you become accustomed to them because your tongue makes contact with the back of your teeth when you articulate. This effect will usually go away with time..
