Lingual Braces

Lingual braces, such as the 3M lncognito system, are uniquely digitally customised appliances that are fitted to the inside surface of your teeth. This means no one need know you are wearing a brace but you! With the use of advanced CAD/CAM technology, precise, custom brackets and wires are made to fit all contours of your teeth, resulting in a precise, efficient appliance to move your teeth into alignment.

Plus of lingual braces:

• They are totally hidden
• They can be used to treat most cases

Minus of lingual braces:

• It can take a few days to get used to lingual braces and your may find that you lisp initially until your tongue gets used to the brackets
• Lingual braces are more expensive as they involve a laboratory technician custom making the appliance
