What is Lingual Orthodontics?

Lingual orthodontics is an aesthetic orthodontic method that aligns teeth using brackets placed on the tongue side (inner surface) of the teeth. As it is not visible from the outside, it is particularly preferred by patients who are concerned about aesthetics. Lingual brackets provide an invisible solution while offering all the functions of classic metal brackets.

The treatment process generally involves the following steps:

1. Detailed Examination and Planning: The alignment of the teeth, jaw structure and occlusion problems are examined. A personalised plan is created using digital scans.

2. Placement of Brackets: Lingual brackets are bonded to the inner surface of the teeth and archwires guide the teeth into the desired position.

3. Adjustment and Monitoring: Throughout the treatment, the wires and brackets are adjusted at regular intervals, and the movement of the teeth is monitored.

4. Check-ups and Oral Hygiene Education: The patient is informed about bracket care and oral hygiene. The treatment process is monitored through regular check-ups.

Lingual orthodontics is a safe method that ensures the proper alignment of teeth from both an aesthetic and functional perspective. When applied using modern techniques, it offers invisible and long-lasting results.
