Incognito Lingual Braces in Golders Green

Lingual braces are a new treatment for teeth straightening – the brackets are invisible as they are fixed to the inside of the teeth instead of the front, making it the most aesthetically pleasing straightening treatment. This technique, which began in the USA and Japan during the seventies, is now very popular in Europe and the Far East.

The lingual orthodontic device comprises brackets that are attached to the inside of the teeth with a flexible wire that passes through the brackets, applying pressure to the teeth. During treatment, the lingual appliance is adjusted by your orthodontist every 5-6 weeks. Oral hygiene is particularly important when using lingual braces.

A period of about one week to ten days is required to adapt to the lingual appliance. During this initial period, your speech may be slightly affected and you may experience slight tongue discomfort and difficulty in chewing. These discomforts usually pass within a few days. The duration of treatment with lingual orthodontics is the same as with metal brackets and depends on the patient’s type of orthodontic needs. The end result is no different to that of traditional treatment, although there are some orthodontic difficulties that are more easily solved with lingual brackets. This treatment provides a solution for the most varied orthodontic problems, from simple to the most complicated.

Lingual orthodontic treatment is more expensive than regular orthodontic treatment, as the appliance is more costly and is prepared in the laboratory individually for each patient, it also requires special training of the orthodontist as well as vast experience.
