At Shullman Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer our clients the latest available treatments options, including lingual braces in Lake Worth. In addition to clear braces and Invisalign, lingual braces are another discreet alternative to metal braces. They straighten your smile with an appliance that’s mounted on the back of your teeth instead of the front. Lingual braces offer the same smile-straightening power of metal braces, with the added benefit of being virtually unnoticeable to others.
Much like traditional metal braces, lingual braces work by applying steady pressure to the teeth, slowly shifting them into their correct position. Because they are self-ligating, they eliminate the need for elastic bands and metal ties that are used in traditional braces. Instead, lingual braces use only a moveable bracket to hold the wire in place.
You’ll have less hardware in your mouth and fewer adjustments to make at each appointment if you choose lingual braces. Overall, lingual braces provide the same results as traditional metal braces, but can generally achieve the desired result in a shorter amount of time.
