Lingual Braces

The word lingual comes from the Latin for tongue. The term lingual braces is used to describe braces fitted behind the teeth, close to the tongue.

They are popular with anyone for whom visible train tracks would be impossible. Initially adopted by celebrities and models, a growing number of people are taking the opportunity to be spared the embarrassment of train tracks.

Lingual braces are more challenging to place because the back surfaces of the teeth are smaller, curved and more inaccessible. Brackets can be custom made to fit the individual’s teeth.

These features make the cost of lingual braces higher than the conventional kind but those who choose the invisible approach believe the extra cost is more than justified.
