Custom Invisible Lingual Braces
Have you considered braces but hesitated because of how they look? There’s an innovative solution for straightening teeth and correcting bites—lingual braces. These braces are placed discreetly behind your teeth, so no one will even know you’re wearing them unless you share your secret. With lingual braces, you can achieve a beautiful smile while maintaining your confidence throughout treatment.
Just like traditional braces, lingual braces utilize advanced 3D digital diagnostic technology to create precise and personalized results tailored to your unique smile.
Why Choose Lingual Braces?
Lingual braces offer an excellent alternative to visible wires and brackets. They allow you to enjoy the benefits of orthodontic treatment without compromising your appearance. If you’re interested, ask about lingual braces during your consultation to see if they’re the right choice for you.
Perfect for All Age Groups
Lingual braces are an excellent option for patients from their teens to their sixties. Most individuals who are candidates for traditional braces can also benefit from lingual braces, such as the Incognito system. However, only a consultation with one of our certified expert orthodontists can determine if this treatment is ideal for your needs.
Who Can Benefit from Lingual Braces?
Lingual braces are especially popular among:
- Patients concerned about tooth surface damage: These braces minimize contact with the front surfaces of teeth.
- Those who prefer discreet treatment: They’re perfect for anyone wanting an invisible orthodontic solution.
- Adult professionals: Maintain a polished appearance while straightening your smile.
- Teens and adults in contact sports: Lingual braces help reduce the risk of injury compared to front-facing brackets.
With lingual braces, you don’t have to choose between effective orthodontic treatment and your confidence. Schedule your consultation today to explore this discreet and effective option!
FAQ
Are lingual braces as effective as traditional braces?
Yes! Lingual braces are just as effective as traditional metal braces for correcting crowding, spacing, and bite issues. Your Bellevue orthodontist will use advanced 3D imaging to customize your brackets for precise, predictable results.
How long does treatment with lingual braces take?
Treatment time varies, but most Bellevue patients complete their lingual braces journey in 18 to 36 months. Regular check-ins ensure your teeth are moving efficiently toward your ideal smile.
Are lingual braces uncomfortable or hard to get used to?
You might experience mild tongue irritation or speech adjustments in the first couple of weeks. However, most patients adapt quickly as the braces are customized for comfort and precision.
What’s the difference between lingual braces and Invisalign?
Both are discreet options, but lingual braces are fixed behind your teeth, while Invisalign uses removable clear aligners. If you prefer a treatment that’s always working and completely hidden, lingual braces may be the better choice.
How do I clean my teeth with lingual braces?
Good oral hygiene is key! Use a soft-bristle toothbrush, floss threaders, or a water flosser to clean around your brackets and wires. Dr. Soper will show you techniques to keep your smile healthy during treatment.
