About LingualCare Braces
Lingual braces are placed behind your teeth, and are therefore virtually invisible to other people. Usually, lingual brackets are made of metal.
Orthodontists need special training to be able to treat patients with lingual braces. Therefore, not every orthodontist provides them. To find an orthodontist who provides lingual braces, ask your dentist or search Google for the phrase lingual braces along with the name of your state, country, or location.
The obvious benefit of this type of treatment is that no one will know that you are wearing lingual braces unless they look inside your mouth! For more information about lingual braces, visit the LingualCare site.
Advantages of LingualCare
- Other people can’t see the brackets unless they look inside your mouth.
Disadvantages of LingualCare
- They tend to hurt your tongue and make it difficult to speak at first.
- They tend to be more expensive than traditional metal, because treatment is specialized.
- Treatment can take a few months longer than traditional braces.
- If you have severe problems, or need certain types of appliances, lingual treatment may not be applicable.
