Lingual Braces
The term ‘lingual’ relates to the tongue and the surrounding area where the tongue sits. Lingual orthodontic appliances are placed on the back of the teeth, where the tongue rests, meaning they are hidden from plain view. Only if someone opened their mouth very wide would you notice that they were wearing these hidden braces.
Brackets are fully customised to fit the surfaces of the teeth with the wires being shaped according to the treatment plan. As the braces are fitted on the lingual side of the teeth, they are more discreet and can barely be seen at all. They will affect speech for the first few days, but adaptation quickly occurs so that the speech returns to normal.

Lingual braces, like conventional braces, can initially create problems while speaking, for example some people find they have a lisp. The good news is that this problem is temporary; within a few days, your tongue will get used to the braces, and you won’t have any problems with speech.
Lingual orthodontics is a complex technique that requires special training and equipment. Not every orthodontist will be able to offer every type of brace. At Hertfordshire Centre for Dentistry our orthodontists have the experience and training to offer a wide variety of braces.
