Lingual braces?!


Question:

Lingual braces?

I am considering lingual braces. My top jaw overbites my lower jaw and my front 2 teeth are buck. I think I would only need them on the top jaw.

I am going to university next term so I really don't want visible braces but also I'm worried about developing speach problems due to the braces. Do you have speach problems the whole time you wear them?

I know they are more expensive, less dentists do them and your tongue can be saw. Are there any other disadvantages? Are they painful all the time?

Also how long do you have to wear them for?


Answers:

You should try invisalign, the nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth. We do it in my office and all of our patients are very happy with the results. Ask your dentist or orthodontist about it and see if you like the idea. How long you have to wear them for depends on the severity of your case, the dentist who does them for you can estimate the length of time for you.
