Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are fixed braces placed on the back side of your teeth, so they straighten your smile while staying completely hidden from view. At Advanced Orthodontics Everett, board-certified orthodontist Dr. Lauren Lewandowski offers lingual braces for teens and adults who want truly invisible treatment.
Want straight teeth without anyone seeing your braces at all? Lingual braces in Everett are the most discreet fixed option available, because they attach to the back of your teeth instead of the front. At Advanced Orthodontics Everett, Dr. Lauren Lewandowski helps teens and adults choose the discreet treatment that fits their life, whether that is lingual braces, clear aligners, or clear ceramic braces. We welcome patients from Everett, Mill Creek, and the surrounding communities.
What Are Lingual Braces?
Lingual braces use the same proven brackets and wires as traditional braces, but they are bonded to the tongue side of your teeth rather than the front. That means they do their work out of sight. Because every bracket is customized to the back surface of your teeth, lingual braces can correct a wide range of cases, from simple to complex, while remaining completely hidden when you smile.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Lingual braces are a great fit for teens and adults who want the reliability of fixed braces with none of the visible hardware. They are especially popular with professionals, performers, and anyone who would rather keep their treatment private. At your complimentary consultation, Dr. Lewandowski will examine your smile and let you know whether lingual braces or another discreet option, such as Invisalign, is the better choice for you.
What to Expect
Lingual braces take a short adjustment period, much like any new braces. Your tongue gets used to them within a couple of weeks, and any change to speech is usually brief and minor. Dr. Lewandowski and our team will give you tips for a smooth start and check in regularly to keep your treatment on track.
