Pros of Lingual
Braces
The primary benefit of lingual braces is an aesthetic one. Because the braces are
located behind the teeth, there is less of a self-esteem or confidence issue
associated with wearing them. A natural smile is still seen, even though the
braces are firmly attached.
Cons of Lingual
Braces
The initial problem with lingual braces is that they are
more difficult to clean. Because
they are behind the teeth, it can be difficult to see all the food debris that
could be stuck in the brace, meaning more time must be invested in the daily
cleaning to prevent future teeth issues.
Lingual braces aren’t considered the right option for more severe cases of teeth realignment
either. Only specific types of teeth straightening can be done with these
braces and that can only be determined by an exam from your dentist.
Any adjustments that need to be made also take longer time and the overall cost of these braces is often more
because of the extended work that is involved to install them and then care for
them over time. Because the braces are on the back of the teeth, tongue irritation is a common side
effect that people experience. Some speech
issues can also be troublesome for the first couple weeks after the braces
have been installed.
They are considered the most
expensive type of braces to have installed, they are also the least visible and
for many people the cost is worth the lack of visible braces.
