Lingual braces are orthodontic appliances that are attached to the back (tongue side) of your teeth, making them invisible from the front. They work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into their correct positions. Unlike traditional braces that are placed on the front of teeth, lingual braces offer the same effectiveness with enhanced aesthetics, making them an excellent choice for adults and professionals who prefer a discreet orthodontic treatment.
Treatment with lingual braces typically takes about the same time as traditional braces, usually between 12-24 months depending on your specific case. Several factors affect treatment duration, including:
At London Dental Specialists, we provide personalised treatment plans with realistic timeframes based on your unique dental needs.
Lingual braces may cause some discomfort during the initial adjustment period, typically lasting 1-2 weeks. This is similar to traditional braces, though the tongue may experience more irritation due to contact with the brackets. Most patients adapt within a few weeks as the mouth develops natural calluses. Our specialists at London Dental Specialists provide detailed advice on managing initial discomfort, including dental wax application and appropriate pain relief options.
Lingual braces offer several advantages over traditional braces:
While lingual braces offer many benefits, potential disadvantages include:
Our orthodontists at London Dental Specialists will discuss these factors thoroughly during your consultation to help determine if lingual braces are right for you.
Maintaining good oral hygiene with lingual braces requires diligence. We recommend:
Our team provides comprehensive hygiene instructions and tools to help you maintain optimal oral health throughout your treatment.
Lingual braces may temporarily affect your speech, typically causing a slight lisp when pronouncing certain sounds. This is because the brackets are positioned where your tongue contacts during speech. Most patients adapt within 1-3 weeks as the brain adjusts to the new tongue positioning. Regular practice speaking aloud can speed up adaptation. At London Dental Specialists, we provide speech adaptation exercises to help minimise this temporary effect.
While lingual braces are an excellent option for many patients, they may not be suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates include:
During your consultation at London Dental Specialists, our orthodontists will assess your specific case to determine if lingual braces are appropriate for your orthodontic needs.
Lingual braces typically cost more than traditional braces due to their customised nature and specialised application technique. The exact cost depends on your specific treatment needs, complexity, and estimated treatment duration. At London Dental Specialists, we offer comprehensive consultations where we provide detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing. We also provide flexible payment options to make treatment more accessible. Please contact our clinic directly for current pricing information and to schedule an assessment.
