Lingual braces are one of several
options for discreet cosmetic teeth straightening. They’re virtually invisible
when you’re smiling, eating or talking, so no one knows you’re wearing them.
Therefore, although they’re suitable for all ages, this makes them ideal for
adults who want to get their teeth straightened, or get rid of gaps in their
teeth.
What are lingual braces?
Sometimes
called ‘hidden braces’, lingual braces are just like traditional braces except
they’re fitted to the inside of your teeth rather than the front surface. So
although they can’t be seen by other people, they’re still a type of fixed
metal brace, made of brackets and wires.
How do lingual braces work?
A
strong ‘arch’ wire is threaded through the brackets glued to the back of your
teeth. Because your teeth need straightening, this will pull the arch wire out
of shape.
Over
time, the arch wire pulls back to its original shape, and this means that your
teeth – attached to the wire – go with it. As a result, they get straightened
into an improved dental arch.
You’ll
need to go back to your dentist every few weeks to have the wires tightened and
adjusted until you achieve the desired result.
Who can wear lingual braces?
They’re
suitable for all ages, particularly adults who want to correct their smile
without everyone noticing. They can be a good option if you’re into contact
sports like rugby, although we’d recommend a mouth guard. And they’re ideal if
you play a wind instrument like the flute. However, depending on your teeth
alignment they might not be suitable for all cases, so consult your dentist
about options.
How long do lingual braces take?
Depending
on how much straightening you need, lingual braces can take anything from a few
months to two years. Even if you need the full two years, you’ll start to see a
difference within a few months.
