Lingual braces

Straighten teeth with these virtually invisible braces 

At Scott Smith Orthodontics, we listen to our patients. We want to know what they want to achieve from treatment so we can get them the very best results they're hoping for. Many of our patients have told us they want discreet orthodontic treatment, so that's exactly what we offer. What's more, we have options! 

Discreet treatment option

Invisalign aligners are one of the most discreet treatment options available but they may not be suitable for everyone.  As an alternative, here at Scott Smith Orthodontics we offer lingual braces. These braces look like traditional metal braces - well, they would if you could see them. 

They are virtually invisible because instead of being fitted to the front of your teeth, we attach them to the back surface next to your tongue. 

How do lingual braces work?

Lingual braces work in exactly the same way as other types of braces too. The brackets and archwires use gentle force to move your teeth into position. The difference is no-one can see them while you're having treatment. 

Benefits of lingual braces

As one of the most discreet treatment options available, lingual braces:

• are ideal for patients who work in client-facing jobs
• still enable you to keep up a good oral hygiene routine
• are great for teenagers who don't want their friends to know they're wearing braces
• give you the smile you've been hoping for without anyone noticing you're having treatment
