Lingual (or invisible) Braces are placed behind the teeth making them the ultimate in aesthetic orthodontic appliances.  They are not readily visible under normal circumstances.  It is now possible to achieve the same predictably high quality results we expect from conventional braces. 

However you should be aware that initially your speech will be affected but generally you will adapt to this fairly quickly and your speech will return to normal.  You may also experience tongue irritation and difficulty when eating but once again you will adapt to this.  

You will need full records taken of photos, x-rays and study models.  These will then be sent to either Australia or America in order for the Lingual Braces to be made specifically for you.  These will take anywhere between 2 – 5 weeks to arrive. 

Once these arrive we will need to schedule an appointment to have these fitted.  Due to the complexity of this that appointment will be scheduled for at least 1 hour.  Following this we will need to see you approximately every 8 weeks with each adjustment appointment being approximately 30 minutes. The treatment will take longer than for normal braces and accordingly will carry a greater overall cost.  Due to the high laboratory component with this type of brace we require a deposit up front.
