Adolescent Lingual Orthodontics
Gentle on teeth, reliable, invisible, and effective in preventing cavities
In children and adolescents, enamel is still maturing, which is why fixed orthodontic appliances can induce demineralization around the appliance, causing irreversible damage. On the inner surface of the teeth, demineralization is preserved by the continuous action of self-detection and saliva rinsing on the teeth.
As clinical research has shown, compared with conventional fixed orthodontic braces, tooth damage in children is 10 times less likely to occur using braces bonded to the inner faces of the teeth.

Benefits of Lingual Orthodontics
Lingual orthodontics has proven effective in treating all types of tooth misalignment and can be applied at any age. Lingual braces straighten crooked, protruding, malpositioned outward or inward, upward or downward teeth and solve related malocclusion problems. The plates do not create any speech or chewing problems and allow teeth to be moved quickly and easily.
Lingual braces are fixed on the teeth and work by fine control of the tooth position in the three planes of space, 24 hours a day, allowing a faster treatment speed with aesthetic improvement of the smile as early as a few months after the placement of braces, as well as being more comfortable.
ALWAYS EFFECTIVE
Lingual orthodontics has proven effective in treating all types of dental misalignment and can be applied at any age as it works 24 hours a day.
REALLY INVISIBLE
Lingual orthodontics allows the correction of misaligned teeth by means of miniaturized plates, the result of the latest technology in the field, glued to the back side of the teeth, and absolutely invisible.
NO WORRIES
Lingual appliance treatment is more predictable in results because it is not reliant on the cooperation of the patient, who will no longer have to remember to wear and/or worry about losing the plastic masks.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fixed Braces
Do lingual braces cause discomfort to the tongue or interfere with speech?
There may be a brief adjustment period during the first 1–2 weeks. However, modern lingual braces are extremely thin and flat, designed to minimize discomfort. Most teens get used to them so quickly that they forget they’re even wearing them.
Is it suitable for all types of malocclusion?
Yes, lingual orthodontics can treat almost any case, from the simplest to the most complex, just like traditional orthodontics, but with the added benefit of being completely invisible.
How long does the treatment last?
The treatment times are comparable to those of conventional orthodontics. In many cases, thanks to the precision of the custom brackets, we are able to achieve extraordinary results within a predictable timeframe.
Is it hard to clean?
It requires a little extra attention at first, but with the right tools we’ll provide at the office and our hygiene tips, keeping your teeth healthy is absolutely manageable.
