Lingual Braces – Invisible Braces: 9 Facts

We are often asked to straighten teeth using 'invisible' braces. Our answer to this is lingual braces. If you have not heard of lingual braces before, the term lingual is latin for towards the tongue. Hence the brace is placed on the INSIDE of the teeth, making it 'invisible' to those around you.
 

9 FACTS ABOUT LINGUAL BRACES:

1. They are technically more difficult than conventional braces and require a higher skill level not only from the dentist but also from the laboratory.

2. They are physically difficult to place- just think about the poor dentist having to break his/her back to place and adjust the brace in the most difficult positions!

3. They are more costly compared to other braces due to the above factors.

4. In some situations, the treatment time can be very quick; as little as 6-16 weeks.

5. The more complicated the case, the longer the treatment time.

6. Speech and eating will be affected initially but this is usually overcome after a few weeks.

7. The tongue will become irritated by the brace for the first few weeks. We provide special 'comfort guard putty' to protect the tongue in the early stages.

8. Retention is vital after treatment. We advise a fixed and removable retainer after the brace is removed.

9. The only truly invisible brace!

If you would like to know more about lingual invisible braces, please contact us for further information. Please feel free to e mail photos of your teeth for some immediate feedback on your suitability.

Social 6 Lingual Braces 2013

One of the most popular cosmetic treatments in 2013 is the Social 6 lingual brace. This is a brace that is fitted to the INSIDE of the teeth, making it truly invisible. As it is fixed, there are no compliance issues and the technology of the system means that a wide variety of movements can be achieved. 
 

FEATURES OF THE SOCIAL 6 BRACE

1. As the name suggests, it is placed on the front 6 teeth only. 

2. The aim is to correct the front 4 teeth, the canine teeth act as the anchors. 

3. The usual time frame is very quick, from 6-24 weeks. 

4. It is completely invisible to the eye. 

5. The technology of the wires means that very light but constant forces are applied, which means LESS pain. 

6. The treatment is a complex and skilled procedure and not readily available at most dental practices.
