Freedom to Smile with Hidden Braces

A “perfect smile” not only corrects facial symmetry but also contributes to the improvement of overall appearance. Although patients want to have straight teeth and a perfect smile, they often avoid wearing braces that would lead them to the desired result due to aesthetic concerns. For patient groups with high aesthetic sensitivity (politicians, business professionals, artists, models, athletes, etc.), lingual braces are the best alternative to traditional brackets. Patients consult orthodontists to achieve a perfect smile. A “perfect smile” not only corrects facial symmetry but also contributes to the improvement of overall appearance. Although patients want to have straight teeth and a perfect smile, they often avoid wearing braces that would lead them to the desired result due to aesthetic concerns. For patient groups with high aesthetic sensitivity (politicians, business professionals, artists, models, athletes, etc.), lingual braces are the best alternative to traditional brackets. Thus, patients can achieve the best results without compromising their appearance, thanks to a system that is impossible for others to notice. The word “Lingual” literally means the tongue side of the teeth. As the name suggests, lingual orthodontics is a technique in which the brackets that hold the wires applying force to the teeth are placed on the back surfaces of the teeth, facing the tongue, instead of the front surfaces facing the lips. This treatment method, which began to be used in the late 1970s, has developed over the years and, with the influence of advanced technology, has become almost flawless today. Previously limited to certain cases, this system can now be used in most cases.
