How does Lingual Hidden Braces work?
Step #1 Planning
Lingual braces are a type of orthodontic braces that are attached to the back of the teeth, facing the tongue, instead of being placed on the front surface of the teeth like traditional braces.
Step #2 Custom-made braces
They are custom-made to fit each individual’s teeth and are typically crafted from gold or stainless steel alloy. Since the brackets and wires are situated behind the teeth, lingual braces are a discreet option for people who want to straighten their teeth without visible braces.
