Lingual Braces
Q: I am considering getting braces, however I have heard of "lingual orthodontics" where the braces are on the inside of the teeth as opposed to the outside. Would you recommend this procedure for adults?
A: It is nice to hear that as an adult, you are considering orthodontics. Lingual braces is just one of the many ways to do orthodontics; however, I have heard that it can be a little rough on your tongue. I feel that Invisalign has taken over the market of lingual braces. It is a much easier process and you do not have to have brackets on your teeth. Please call us at 888.790.0309 if you have any further questions or to set up a consultation to determine what would be best for you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Dale Brant, Dr. Charles Campbell, and Dr. Elizabeth O'Sullivan Winslow
