Lingual Braces function in exactly the same way as other, more traditional fixed braces. But there is one important, aesthetic difference. You won't have a shiny, metal smile. The problem used to be that braces could only be fitted a certain way: right smack-bang on the front of your teeth (not to put too fine a point on it). The difference with Lingual Braces is that they can be fitted to the back of your teeth, rather than the front. So while they work just as effectively (and do just the same job), most of the heavy-duty metal work is concealed.

 

The invisibility of Lingual Braces can be important in work and social situations. If you are interacting with people on a day-to-day basis, Lingual Braces help to ensure that you maintain your confidence and act naturally. Whether that’s an important presentation, a job interview, a date or a conversation with someone you’ve just met, it makes a real difference.
