What Are Lingual Braces?

Lingual braces are an advanced orthodontic option designed for patients who want straighter teeth without visible hardware. Instead of being placed on the front of your teeth, the brackets and wires are attached to the back (the tongue side). This hidden placement allows them to work just like traditional braces—gently shifting your teeth into alignment—while staying out of sight.

  • Completely hidden Because they’re placed behind your teeth, only you and your dentist know they’re there.
  • Custom-fit comfort Each bracket is designed to match the unique shape of your teeth for a smoother feel.
  • Effective treatment Lingual braces correct crowding, gaps, bite problems, and misalignment with reliable results.
  • Confidence throughout A discreet choice for teens, adults, and professionals who want an aesthetic alternative to visible braces.

With lingual braces, you can enjoy the benefits of orthodontic treatment without the noticeable look of traditional brackets and wires.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

At Empower Dental Pasadena, lingual braces are carefully planned and customized using the latest technology. From your first consultation to your final adjustment, our goal is to make your orthodontic experience efficient, precise, and comfortable.

  • Consultation & imaging We begin with a thorough exam using digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and iTero or TRIOS scanners to capture every detail of your bite.
  • Personalized treatment plan CAD/CAM software and Digital Smile Design allow us to create a roadmap for your orthodontic journey and even preview your expected results.
  • Custom bracket fabrication Each lingual bracket is crafted with 3D printing technology and precisely bonded to the back of your teeth for a seamless fit.
  • Ongoing adjustments Regular check-ins let us make gentle modifications while tracking your progress with T-Scan occlusal analysis for optimal bite alignment.

This advanced process ensures your treatment is discreet, effective, and tailored to your individual needs.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are an excellent option for patients who want the effectiveness of traditional braces but without the visible hardware. Because they’re placed on the back of your teeth, they allow you to straighten your smile discreetly while maintaining a natural appearance throughout treatment.
