What are lingual braces?
Lingual braces are just like conventional metal braces, yet they are fixed to the back of the teeth. Each bracket is custom-made to fit seamlessly into your smile and increase your comfort.
Once your dentist has examined your teeth and confirmed that lingual braces can work for you, they will prepare impressions of your teeth. These impressions will be used as a guide to creating the brackets of your braces. This process can take several weeks. Once the brackets are ready, your dentist will glue them to the back of your teeth using a special adhesive.
As the brackets are made to fit amongst the teeth, lingual braces should not be uncomfortable. However, they may feel weird for a day or two, as the tongue needs some time to adjust to them.
