Lingual braces are also called Incognito braces. They are an ideal option for those who prefer virtually invisible braces, not to be seen during the orthodontic treatment process. They are bonded to the lingual surface (back) of your teeth & apply the desirable forces using elastics or power chains to cause tooth movements.

Traditional or self-ligating brackets that are bonded one after the other. On the other hand, lingual braces are customized & bonded using an impression of your dental arch all together at once.

The direction of forces applied is different from the regular anterior braces. This orthodontic option is very technique sensitive while it straightens your teeth. Only an experienced Orthodontist who is trained in lingual Orthodontics can perform the same.

Lingual types of braces are available in ceramic & metal options depending on your preference.
