Charlottesville, United States - October 20, 2023 / Mill Creek Orthodontics /

Life can be difficult when you dont like how your teeth look when you smile. Even though you are no longer a teenager, this doesnt mean that you have to live with this situation for the rest of your life. We can straighten your teeth and help you love your smile even though you are over 18. Orthodontic treatment in Charlottesville, VA, includes lingual braces, and you can have them when you see us at Mill Creek Orthodontics.

What Are Lingual Braces?

Clear braces or clear aligners are called invisible braces, but they are not entirely invisible. They can be seen if one looks intentionally into the mouth of the wearer. Lingual braces are truly invisible braces because someone would need to look closely inside your mouth to see them. Thats because we apply these braces to the backs of your teeth. They are known as InBraces, and they are lingual braces that your peers or coworkers will never see.

Are Lingual Braces Better Than Traditional Braces?

Lingual braces offer you many advantages that you cannot get from traditional braces, such as the following:

Lingual Braces Do Not Cause as Many Lifestyle Changes

When you first get braces, you need to take some time to get used to them. For example, you may have to eat softer foods, and you also need to learn how to effectively clean your teeth and braces. With lingual braces, you will have fewer of these lifestyle changes.

You Can Play Wind Instruments

In the event that you play the saxophone or a flute, you may need to adjust your playing to accommodate your traditional braces. You may also need to clean the instrument more often. If you play the French horn or the trumpet, you may have to wait a while before you can return to playing your instrument. Since lingual braces are on the backs of your teeth, they are not in your way when you are playing your instrument. You do not need to adjust the way that you position your lips or your mouth.

You Experience Less Pain

In one study, the researchers discovered that participants with lingual braces experienced less pain in the first four weeks of treatment. They found that participants with traditional braces had more pain in their cheeks and lips. All braces cause some pain, but this pain does go away eventually.

They Are Truly Invisible

Braces contain wires, brackets, and elastic bands, but with lingual braces, these components are on the backs of your teeth. You would need to open your mouth very wide for others to see these things, and you arent likely to do that!

Are There Other Types of Braces?

Yes! We also have metal or ceramic braces that are placed on the front of each tooth. If you prefer to wear clear aligners, we can offer you Invisalign treatment. Braces and aligners can correct several orthodontic issues, including overcrowded teeth, crooked teeth, and teeth with gaps. They also fix underbites and overbites.
