The invisible fixed option
Lingual braces sit on the tongue-side surface of your teeth, custom-made to each tooth's inner contour. They deliver the precise, continuous control of fixed appliances, including movements that challenge clear aligners, while remaining genuinely invisible in conversation, photographs and presentations.
Who chooses lingual
- Adults in client-facing and public-facing roles who want treatment to stay private
- Patients whose case needs fixed-appliance control, but who won't accept visible brackets
- Musicians and athletes for whom front-of-teeth brackets are impractical
Honest trade-offs
The first weeks take adjustment, your tongue needs time to make friends with the brackets, and speech can lisp slightly before adapting. Appointments are a little longer, and lingual systems cost more than conventional braces because each bracket is custom-made. Dr Anand will help you weigh this against Invisalign and Damon Clear for your specific case.
