Internal lingual braces allow you to have orthodontic treatment without anyone even knowing you are wearing braces. As the name suggests, internal braces are fitted on the back of the teeth surfaces (on the tongue side), making them completely invisible to other people. Many patients find these braces more comfortable as the braces are unable to rub on the inside of your lips as conventional braces do. This treatment is excellent for patients who want undetectable treatment with superior orthodontic results.
Our orthodontic team have undergone additional training, and have extensive experience in the field, to equip them to treat patients with internal lingual braces. Not every orthodontist provides this completely invisible option – at Smile Solutions Dr Hall, Dr Hagan, Dr Poon and Dr Austin do.
