What are Lingual (Behind-the-Teeth) Braces?

Lingual braces, also known as behind-the-teeth braces, are an orthodontic treatment option that functions similarly to traditional braces but with a key difference: they are attached to the back (lingual) surface of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front. These braces consist of metal brackets and wires custom-made to fit the inner contours of each tooth, effectively treating various orthodontic issues including overbites, underbites, and crowded teeth while remaining completely hidden from view. Though they may initially cause some discomfort and speech adjustments as the tongue adapts to their presence, lingual braces offer a discreet alternative for patients seeking effective orthodontic treatment without the visible appearance of conventional braces, making them particularly popular among adults and professionals concerned about aesthetics during treatment.

Our Process For Lingual (Behind-the-Teeth) Braces

Lingual braces, also known as behind-the-teeth braces, are an innovative orthodontic solution that offers effective teeth straightening with the advantage of being virtually invisible. At London Dental Specialists, our comprehensive process ensures optimal results: beginning with a thorough consultation and assessment to determine suitability, followed by the creation of a customised treatment plan tailored to individual dental structures. The braces are then meticulously fitted to the inner surfaces of the teeth, and throughout the treatment, regular adjustments are made to guide teeth into their desired positions. Post-treatment care is essential to maintain the achieved alignment and overall oral health.

Conditions We Treat With Lingual (Behind-the-Teeth) Braces

London Dental Specialists addresses various conditions with Lingual (Behind-the-Teeth) Braces in Merton Park, helping patients whose conditions benefit well to this approach. We assess your specific condition to ensure Lingual (Behind-the-Teeth) Braces offers the optimal solution. Our practice provides honest advice about which conditions improve most from Lingual (Behind-the-Teeth) Braces.


  • Overbite: Our lingual braces behind the teeth are especially effective for treating overbite conditions, where the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth.

  • Underbite: Hidden braces can correct underbite issues, where the lower teeth protrude past the upper teeth, improving both function and appearance.

  • Crossbite: Incognito braces effectively address crossbite conditions, where some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting down.

  • Crowded teeth: Lingual orthodontic appliances provide excellent correction for teeth that are overlapping or misaligned due to insufficient space.

  • Gaps between teeth: Our behind-the-teeth braces can close unwanted spaces between teeth for a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

  • Open bite: Invisible lingual braces effectively treat open bite conditions, where the upper and lower teeth don't meet when the mouth is closed.

  • Misaligned teeth: Our dental alignment treatment using lingual braces can straighten teeth that are rotated or positioned incorrectly.

  • Protruding teeth: Teeth straightening with fixed lingual braces can correct front teeth that stick out, reducing the risk of damage and improving appearance.

  • Complex orthodontic cases: Our metal braces behind the teeth can address complicated dental issues that require precise tooth movement and bite correction.
