Lingual Braces - Chicago, IL

What Lingual Braces Are

The word “lingual” describes anything that relates to or is facing the tongue. Lingual braces, therefore, are facing the inside of the mouth rather than the outside. Since they are on the backs of the teeth, they are virtually unnoticeable to casual observers.

Lingual braces work on the same principle as traditional braces. Brackets are attached to the teeth, and a wire connects the brackets. The brackets and wire apply continuous, gentle force to the teeth in order to move them into their proper positions. Following treatment, you should have a well-aligned bite that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Advantages of Lingual Braces

Of course, the most outstanding benefit of lingual braces is their discreet nature. They are completely hidden behind the teeth. Other perks of this orthodontic treatment include:

• Nothing to remove. The braces are attached to the teeth on a long-term basis. That makes them perfect for individuals who want discreet treatment but who don’t want to have to remember to wear a clear aligner.
• Easy oral hygiene. INBRACE technology features smartwires, which make it easy for you to maintain a clean mouth throughout your treatment period.
• Comparable pricing. You’ll need to visit us for an estimate of the price of your treatment. In general, though, the price of lingual braces is usually in the same ballpark as that of clear aligners. Some types of dental insurance cover a portion of the cost of orthodontic treatments, including lingual braces.
• Comfort. After you get used to wearing your lingual braces, you may be surprised by how comfortable they are.

• You are ready to adapt to life with lingual braces. It may take a bit of time for you to learn to speak clearly with lingual braces. Also, you will need to adjust your eating habits in order to avoid foods that might damage the brackets or wires.

What Are INBRACE Lingual Braces? 

Similar to other lingual braces, INBRACE utilizes small brackets that are attached to the interior surface of the teeth, or the side facing the tongue. The brackets are attached to each other with a wire that applies steady pressure to the teeth until they come to proper alignment.

INBRACE was created by orthodontists for orthodontists. Its diverse team consists of orthodontists, engineers, bone biologists, designers, and computer scientists to combine the best of all these fields to result in treatment that is effective and truly invisible.
