What are lingual braces?
Lingual braces provide a discreet
way to straighten crooked smiles.
They are cleverly fitted behind your
teeth, making them virtually
undetectable.
How do they work?
Lingual braces move teeth using fixed brackets and wires,
much like a traditional metal brace.
The wire works to gently guide the brackets – and your teeth –
into their new position, gradually revealing a straighter smile.
Lingual braces step-by-step
1. Your consultation
Come and meet our friendly team and find out everything you need
to know about lingual braces during a free no-obligation consultation.
2. Planning your journey
We’ll begin by checking the health of your teeth and gums before
taking a scan or moulds of your teeth. These will be used to
carefully plan your treatment.
3. Customised orthodontics
If you’ve chosen customised lingual braces, your impressions
will also be used to create custom-made brackets and wires.
4. Fitting your braces
It’s the big day! Your clinician will fit your braces to the inside
surfaces of your teeth and tell you everything you need to know
about looking after your lingual braces.
5. Don’t be a stranger
We’ll see you for regular check-ups throughout your treatment
making adjustments to your braces as needed.
6. The big reveal
Once you’re happy with the position of your teeth we’ll remove
your braces and make sure you’re fitted with fixed and/or removable
retainers to maintain your fantastic results.
Are lingual braces right for you?
Lingual braces are suitable for all ages and are ideal for treating most
orthodontic problems, including:
Crowding
Rotated teeth
Impacted teeth
Overjet
Spacing
Overbite
Underbite
Openbite
Cross bite
Personalise your treatment
Your treatment will be carefully tailored to meet
your needs. If you’re only concerned about your
front teeth, for example, we can fit your lingual
braces to just your front six or eight teeth.
You can even mix and match lingual braces on
your top teeth with a different type of fixed brace
on the bottom.
