Lingual braces are no different from traditional braces, except they’re designed to be worn on the back of your teeth rather than the front. The biggest reason why people choose these “hidden” braces is that you can’t see them whenever you’re talking or smiling; they’re physically blocked from plain view by your teeth. If you don’t qualify for clear aligners or don’t want ceramic braces because they’re still visible, behind the teeth lingual braces or invisible braces are the next best choice when straightening teeth.

Lingual braces are a great option for many people because they treat most orthodontic concerns. But this doesn't necessarily mean that everyone should get them. It really depends on the severity of your tooth misalignment and if you're willing to take the time to maintain good oral hygiene habits around these hard-to-clean appliances. The best thing to do is talk to a dentist or orthodontist who offers several different types of braces, then weigh the pros and cons of each one in your situation. As an expert, your provider will be able to give you a professional opinion on what has worked best for other patients in your circumstances.
