Fixed braces placed behind your teeth, so you can straighten your smile completely out of sight.
Lingual braces work just like traditional fixed braces, but the brackets and wires are fitted to the inside (tongue side) of your teeth. That means they're completely hidden from view while they straighten your smile.
They're a fantastic option if you want the effectiveness of fixed braces but would prefer no one could see them at all, popular with adults in client-facing roles and anyone who wants to keep treatment entirely private.
Lingual braces are a more advanced technique, so it helps to have them fitted by an experienced specialist. At Portman Smile Clinic Banstead, your treatment is designed and delivered by our Specialist Orthodontist, with the appliance custom-made to the shape of your teeth for comfort and precision.
