If you’re looking for an orthodontic solution to crooked, crowded or mis-aligned teeth that’s as subtle as it is effective, lingual braces may well be the ideal choice for you.
But what are lingual braces? Lingual fixed braces are attached to the back of the teeth, making them virtually unnoticeable. They work when small metal brackets are attached to the teeth with a special adhesive solution, which is the same colour as your natural teeth.
Then, a wire is tied into the brackets, joining each separate bracket together behind the teeth. Your orthodontist will then use the wires to gently but effectively manipulate your teeth into the desired position, offering support without getting in the way of your smile.
Lingual braces are one of our most popular teeth straightening treatments, as they are almost invisible once installed. As they are fixed to the back of your teeth, instead of the front like traditional wire braces, they do the same work without the obvious coverage of your teeth. This means your smile will stay as bright as ever while your lingual brace works away in the background.
With lingual braces, our expert orthodontists have complete control over each of your teeth. This is especially useful in cases of crowding, as it means each tooth can be moved and re-aligned separately within the mouth, without the need to push other teeth out of the way, when they don’t need to be. There may be a short time of slight discomfort once they are applied to your teeth, but your teeth soon get used to the effect of the brace and many of our clients say they often forget they are wearing a brace at all.

Are lingual braces removable?
Lingual braces are a great option for adults and teens in most cases of tooth re-alignment, but it is worth noting that they are not removable. This is a positive for many of our clients, as they prefer to have their braces fitted and fixed in place by our team of experienced orthodontists, so they don’t have to think about them again until their next visit.
With a lingual brace, you will revisit our team in Wokingham every six to eight weeks to check that your adjustments are working as they should, and that your braces remain comfortable and unnoticeable.
Are lingual braces removable?
As lingual braces are not removable for cleaning, we also recommend returning to our practice at least every six weeks for a professional clean.
Lingual braces can trap food and plaque, so a professional clean will ensure your teeth are protected from plaque build-up and decay.
These braces are not available on the NHS as they count as cosmetic dentistry. We do understand that your smile is important to you, though; a great smile can mean a lot to your self-confidence, as well as helping you to feel good about yourself! That’s why we have several payment plan options to make sure you can get the treatments you want at a price you can afford. Do get in touch if you’d like to hear more.
