The advantages of lingual braces for adults
Lingual braces are attached to the back (lingual) side of the teeth, as opposed to the front (labial) side that is visible when you smile. They require a skilled orthodontist to install and maintain, as they can be more difficult to access and adjust than traditional braces.
They may also take longer to adjust to and require more frequent appointments to ensure that they are working properly. However, for some people, the benefits of lingual braces may outweigh these challenges.
- Lingual braces are completely discreet. They cannot be seen from the front
- The customised nature of the brace means that the brace is bespoke for the patient and the movements necessary
- Lingual braces can be one of the quickest treatment times depending on the skill of the orthodontist. With Dr Decker’s expertise you can be completely confident that the treatment time will be as short as possible.
Adult lingual braces FAQs
- The part of the brace that attaches to the tooth – the bracket’, is completely customised and is made to fit the shape of the particular tooth.
- The brackets are 3D printed for accuracy.
- The wires used to fit into the brackets are pre bent to move specific teeth in a specific direction. This is not the case for traditional braces.
No, all the brackets will be fit on the back surface of them.
Instead of extracting teeth a procedure called IPR is carried out. This stands for ‘Inter Proximal Reduction’. A maximum of 0.25mm is polished away from the enamel on the sides of the teeth to create very small gaps. This allows the teeth enough space to be straightened.
Underbite, crossbite or excessive lower anterior crowding a lower incisor tooth may have to be removed
Treatment times depend on the skill of the orthodontist treating you. In Dr Decker’s hands treatments are not usually longer than 12 months.
lingual braces are as effective as traditional braces for most orthodontic cases, including correcting overcrowding, gaps, and bite issues. They work similarly by applying pressure to move teeth, but they are positioned on the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible. While they are just as effective, treatment may take slightly longer due to the braces’ position and adjustments can be more complex.
Lingual braces are an excellent option for those seeking a discreet solution, but they may come with higher costs and initial discomfort for the tongue. We will help determine if they are the right choice for your needs.
