Lingual Braces

Introduction to Lingual Braces

Want straighter teeth without visible braces? Lingual braces might be the perfect choice for you! At Lumos Clinic, we offer advanced orthodontic solutions, including lingual braces, to help you achieve a beautiful smile discreetly.

What Are Lingual Braces?

Lingual braces are similar to traditional braces but are placed behind your teeth, making them virtually invisible. They offer the same effectiveness as conventional braces without the visible metal brackets on the front of your teeth.

Why Choose Lingual Braces Over Traditional Braces?

Many patients prefer lingual braces for aesthetic reasons, especially professionals, public speakers, and those who want a more discreet orthodontic solution.

How Lingual Braces Work

Placement Behind the Teeth

Unlike regular braces, lingual braces are attached to the back side of the teeth, keeping them hidden from view.

Customization for Individual Needs

Each set of lingual braces is custom-made to fit the shape of your teeth and provide effective alignment correction.
