When you’re hiding your teeth in a group photograph it can feel like you’re the only person without a perfect smile, but studies show that 48% of people in the UK feel self-conscious about their teeth. The amount of rapid, invisible dental treatments available has resulted in an increasing number of adults choosing to undergo orthodontic work to achieve a perfect smile.
Although you might think that your teeth are too crooked and misaligned to be straightened by the more invisible orthodontic treatments, you can rest assured that lingual braces are an equally discreet option.
Lingual braces have been created using the latest technology to be as comfortable and unobtrusive as possible. As opposed to traditional braces, the lingual brackets are designed to dramatically reduce friction and apply less force but in a more effective way.
The Lingual braces are attached to the back of your teeth, which means when you’re undergoing treatment no one will be able to tell. Despite its positioning, these lingual braces have been thoroughly tested to ensure that they make the least impact on your tongue and speech. Any sign of speech alteration was shown to disappear after a few days of the brace installation.
Unlike other fixed brace options, lingual braces are constructed from hi-tech wires which results in a significantly shorter treatment time between 6-16 weeks.
