Lingual Technique

The term “lingual” literally means “the back side of the tooth”. The lingual technique is an orthodontic treatment method that is individually tailored to the patient and in which the brackets are placed on the inner sides of the teeth. Because it is completely customised, it offers the patient maximum comfort while achieving a perfect result. Since the braces are attached to the inside of the tooth, there are no aesthetic concerns. Patients can easily see the improvements in their teeth after 3-6 months of treatment. During the treatment, patients can continue to smile unhindered. After an adjustment period of 2-3 weeks, the patient has become completely accustomed to the braces placed with the lingual technique and no longer feels disturbed by their presence.

The Advantages of Treatment With The Lingual Technique

  • Minimise problems with speaking and intonation
  • Provides a more aesthetic appearance than ordinary braces
  • Enables easier cleaning of the teeth
  • Eliminates the problem of breaking the brackets
