You have indicated that the speed of your treatment is important to you - we have orthodontic solutions including Invisalign which could be the most viable options for you.

While lingual braces offer many advantages, there are some things you should know before taking the leap! Because lingual braces are behind the teeth, some patients experience slight changes to their speech (lisps are common) and irritation to their tongue.

We have also seen an increase in the popularity of braces behind the teeth among esthetically conscious adolescents. Lingual braces behind the teeth are especially well-suited for adults who do not want noticeable braces, but also have complex orthodontic needs.

These include complete invisibility, full customization to your specific teeth, as well as better efficiency and versatility in select patients. We believe that lingual braces behind the teeth should be presented as an option to all eligible patients because they provide advantages that no other type of braces offer. Lingual braces behind the teeth are not taught during orthodontic training, and it is therefore up to the orthodontist to learn to become proficient with them. This is because they require a different set of orthodontic skills that few orthodontists take the time to hone. Lingual braces behind the teeth are the most specialized and least common orthodontic system on the market.

Patients with developmental delays and orthodontic need.

Patients who cannot sit still in the dental chair for very long.

Patients who are more sensitive to discomfort.

We have found that self-ligating braces result in mildly shorter appointment times because of how easy they are to adjust. The difference between self-ligating braces compared to metal or ceramic braces is that self-ligating braces use doors or clips to hold the wire in place, rather than elastic rubber ties.

They too rely on braces and a wire to move the teeth. Self-ligating braces work similarly to metal and ceramic braces and are available in metal or clear/ceramic material. They are not for everybody, but we believe they remain a valuable tool in our orthodontic tool-bag. You should know, however, that these braces are also slightly larger than metal braces and can stain depending diet and brushing habits. These patients tend to be esthetically-driven adolescents and adults.Ĭompared to metal braces, ceramic braces are less noticeable and present an affordable alternative to metal braces. Ceramic braces are most popular among patients who do not think Invisalign or lingual braces are right for them, but who still want to straighten their teeth in a discreet and affordable way. They work in the same way as metal braces, but are more discreet and less visible. Ceramic braces are braces made of clear, tooth colored material.
