A Discreet and Effective Solution to Regain your Smile: Lingual Braces

In today’s society, appearance plays a crucial role in self-confidence. Correcting tooth alignment is essential, but understandably, the idea of wearing visible braces doesn’t encourage this approach. If the patient doesn’t wish to, or cannot benefit from a discreet treatment with aligners, lingual orthodontics offers an almost invisible and effective alternative.

What are the Advantages of Lingual Orthodontics :

  • Total discretion: As the attachments are positioned behind the teeth, the braces are invisible to others, allowing you to smile and speak with confidence without worrying about the visibility of the appliance.
  • Effectiveness comparable to traditional methods: Lingual orthodontics can treat a wide range of malocclusions, from the simplest to the most complex, with results equivalent to external braces. However, few practitioners offer it because it requires specific postgraduate training to be competent in this area, in addition to the specialty of orthodontic dentistry.
  • Improved comfort: Technological advancements have allowed for the design of thinner and more comfortable lingual brackets, minimizing initial discomfort and facilitating adaptation to the appliance.
  • Reduced risk of demineralization: According to some studies, the internal position of the brackets could decrease the risk of white spots on the enamel, often associated with external braces, thanks to better protection offered by saliva.
  • Personalized treatment: Lingual braces are custom-made to perfectly fit the dental morphology of each patient, thus ensuring optimal treatment effectiveness.

Conclusion:

For patients concerned about their appearance, lingual orthodontics represents an ideal solution, combining discretion and effectiveness. By choosing this method, it’s possible to obtain a harmonious smile without the aesthetic constraints of visible braces. A specialized consultation at Nuumoon will determine if this option is suitable for your specific needs.
