Hidden (Lingual) Braces

Hidden lingual braces are a discreet way to straighten your teeth, as they’re fitted to the inside surfaces of your teeth – completely hidden from view. They work just like traditional fixed braces but are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want a more private orthodontic treatment.

At M Brace Orthodontics, our specialist team uses custom-made lingual braces to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild crowding to more complex cases. We’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle, helping you achieve a beautifully straight smile – without anyone knowing you’re having treatment.

Advantages of Lingual Braces

  • They are fitted behind your teeth so are completely hidden from view.

  • They are suitable for mild to complex orthodontic cases.

  • They are custom-made for a precise and comfortable fit.

  • There is no visible impact on your smile during treatment.

  • They are ideal for those seeking the most discreet orthodontic treatment available.

Wearing Lingual Braces

Adapting to lingual braces can take a little time, especially in the first few weeks. Because the braces are fitted to the inside surfaces of your teeth, your tongue may take some time to adjust. You might notice a slight lisp or extra sensitivity at first, but this usually settles as your mouth gets used to the new braces.

Most patients find that any initial discomfort improves quickly. Using orthodontic wax, staying hydrated, and eating softer foods in the early days can help ease the transition. Speaking out loud, reading aloud or chatting with friends can also help your speech adjust more quickly.

At M Brace Orthodontics, we’re here to support you throughout your treatment. We’ll give you tips and advice to make the adjustment as smooth as possible, and we’re always just a phone call away if you have any concerns. Before long, wearing your lingual braces will feel completely normal, and your new smile will be well worth it.

Lingual Braces or Invisalign?

Lingual Braces Or Invisalign

If you’re looking for a more discreet way to straighten your teeth, both lingual braces and Invisalign offer effective, nearly invisible alternatives to traditional fixed braces. Lingual braces are fitted to the back of your teeth, so they remain hidden from view while providing precise and powerful tooth movement. They’re ideal for patients who want a fixed solution without visible brackets or wires.

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made to gradually move your teeth into position. They’re comfortable, easy to remove for eating and brushing, and barely noticeable when worn. Whether you prefer a fixed or removable option, our specialist team at M Brace Orthodontics will help you choose the treatment that best suits your lifestyle and smile goals.
