Lingual braces are so named because they are bonded to the inner surfaces of the teeth, on the tongue side.
Due to the position of these orthodontic braces, this is the only treatment that is truly invisible from the outside.
Dr. Jacques NUSSBAUMER particularly enjoys practicing lingual orthodontics because it is precise, discreet, and brings patients a high level of satisfaction.
Lingual orthodontics is reliable and effective for treating all types of dental misalignments, in all three dimensions of space.
It is a high-precision technology: each brace and each archwire is fully customized, made to measure to fit the surface of your teeth perfectly.
The braces are extremely thin and comfortable to wear. There is no need to worry about discomfort.
The invisibility of this technique makes it ideal for teenagers and adults who prefer not to have visible braces for aesthetic or professional reasons.
The lingual appliance requires one to two weeks of adaptation. During the initial days, the tongue may feel slightly irritated and speech may be temporarily affected. However, within a week or two, the surrounding tissues adapt completely, and the appliance becomes unnoticeable. You’ll be surprised by your own adaptability.
The same goes for your brushing technique, which is quickly mastered with a lingual appliance.
Moreover, choosing this technique may reduce the risk of developing cavities, since the inner surfaces of the teeth benefit from the self-cleaning effect of saliva, helped by the tongue and the proximity of the salivary gland ducts.
