Lingual Braces
Lingual Braces offer an invisible way to correct misaligned teeth by fixing brackets and wires on the back surfaces of your teeth.
They work similarly to traditional braces but are hidden from view, making them ideal for those seeking a discreet orthodontic solution.
The treatment is custom-designed for each patient, ensuring precision, comfort, and effectiveness.
At CureU Healthcare, our orthodontists use the latest lingual systems to create confident smiles without compromising aesthetics.
Overview And Clinical Background
The Hidden Orthodontic Solution
Lingual braces apply gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position.
Unlike regular braces, they are fixed behind the teeth, making them invisible to others.
The treatment duration and results are comparable to standard orthodontics but require specialized expertise.
- Technology: Uses computer-assisted design for custom brackets that perfectly contour the back of each tooth, improving comfort and control.
- Suitable for both teenagers and adults who prefer a subtle alternative to visible braces.
- Customization: Each archwire and bracket is individually crafted to ensure efficient tooth movement and minimal irritation.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Lingual braces are ideal for correcting spacing, crowding, or bite irregularities.
They are especially preferred by professionals or performers who want a hidden orthodontic solution.
- Common symptom: Misaligned or overlapping teeth affecting chewing or smile symmetry.
- Gaps or uneven spacing between teeth causing aesthetic or speech issues.
- Red flag: Jaw discomfort or speech problems during early adjustment that need orthodontic review.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Digital Impressions And Bite Analysis
A full orthodontic assessment is done to plan lingual brace treatment.
This includes 3D scans, x-rays, and bite evaluations to design a precise appliance layout.
- Imaging: 3D intraoral scans to capture tooth surfaces for custom bracket placement.
- Lab tests: Not required unless pre-surgical corrections or infections are suspected.
- Photographs and models help track progress and visualize expected results.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Treatment with lingual braces involves gradual adjustments over several months.
Appointments are scheduled periodically to tighten or replace wires for continuous correction.
- Conservative: Used for mild to moderate misalignments without tooth extraction.
- Minimally invasive options: Advanced lingual systems with low-profile brackets reduce tongue irritation.
- Severe cases may require combined orthodontic and jaw surgery for full correction.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Adaptation may take a few weeks as the tongue adjusts to the new braces.
Minor speech changes or soreness are temporary.
Long-term outcomes are excellent, with results comparable to traditional braces.
