Lingual braces are mounted behind a patient’s teeth (on the inside). They were popular many years ago before the advent of Invisalign and “clear” or “tooth-colored” braces. Lingual braces are seldom used anymore since they are generally less comfortable than traditional braces, require a greater number of visits to complete treatment and are more costly. In addition, some people have trouble eating and talking with lingual braces. Presently, lingual braces are only used in special clinical cases.
