When thinking about correcting crooked teeth the first thing to pop in our mind is “BRACES”. Braces have been used in dentistry for decades and are still the gold standard for severe alignment issues. But most people don’t need a comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
If the thought of getting metal brackets and wires attached to the front of your teeth to pull and straighten your smile makes you cringe, then the “lingual braces” are the perfect solution for you which will no longer make you feel embarrassed by wearing the traditional metal braces.
Lingual Braces
These are designed to fit on the backside of the teeth, instead of the front. Lingual braces are virtually invisible and that’s the main reason eligible patients choose them. These help much the same way as traditional braces using brackets and wires. It gives the same effective finer better teeth straightening results. Lingual braces are also custom fit to an individual patient, often providing overall comfort.
One other advantage that you may get is if you play a wind instrument then lingual braces are easier to adapt to than traditional braces. The advantage is mostly aesthetic.
Oral Hygeine
Keeping your teeth clean is important and necessary no matter what type of invisible braces you choose. Food gets stuck easily in the brackets and wires causing plaque to form and tooth decay. Brush after every meal because lingual braces are on the back of your teeth, so you need to pay special attention to brushing back there.
