Lingual Braces Treatment
Lingual braces are unique braces that straighten and align your teeth without drawing attention to them. These braces provide you with an attractive smile discreetly. They are suitable for both adults and kids.
At SmileMint Studio, our reputed team of orthodontists has the expertise and skills to install lingual braces so that you get straight and well-aligned teeth without drawing attention to them.
What are lingual braces?
Lingual braces have archwires, brackets, and bands like conventional braces. The only difference is that they are installed behind the teeth facing the tongue, making them discreet. We recommend these braces to patients uncomfortable with traditional metal braces.
They work as effectively as conventional braces; they are called lingual braces since they face the tongue.
What is the procedure for lingual braces?
Lingual braces are completely customized to fit the wearer’s requirements. Our orthodontists will take the impression of your teeth and design these braces to fit your mouth perfectly.
We place the brackets individually on each tooth, and the archwire connects the brackets. The archwire is also customizable, making it all the more effective.
Traditional braces have standardized brackets that are placed individually on each tooth one at a time.
Why lingual braces?
Lingual braces are invisible to onlookers as they are placed behind the teeth. Many adults prefer lingual braces as traditional braces are not ideal for them in social and professional situations.
The discoloration or the white spots resulting from wearing braces will be on the inside of the teeth rather than the outside when compared to other dental braces.
Customizing the lingual braces according to the patient’s needs makes them more effective and comfortable than standard or conventional braces.
What to expect?
At SmileMint Studio, our orthodontists will design the best lingual braces keeping all your requirements in mind. They have a holistic approach and aim to provide you with dental solutions that are long-lasting and effective.
Once you begin the treatment of lingual braces, the teeth will start to align. Our qualified orthodontists will periodically adjust these braces for you and check your progress. They will guide you on what foods you can eat and avoid.
So, please book an appointment to have a healthy and attractive smile without being too obvious.
