Lingual orthodontic appliances are an exciting way of improving the smile for those conscious about having visible fixed appliances.

What are lingual braces?

Lingual braces work the same way as other fixed braces. The difference is that lingual braces are fixed on the back side of your teeth instead of the front. This hides them from view while you smile, which is why lingual braces are sometimes referred to as ‘hidden braces.’

Types of lingual braces we use

At Guildford Orthodontics, we are proud to offer our patients two types of lingual braces - the Incognito™ system and WIN® customised lingual braces.

These types of lingual braces have an advantage over some other systems, including:

Fully customised to you
Improved patient comfort
Less speech interference
Higher quality
Can be used in the most complex of cases

Benefits of lingual braces

Lingual braces such as the WIN® and Incognito™ systems are a wonderful option for many patients because they are:

Virtually invisible: Lingual braces are hidden from view behind your smile, making them a popular choice with brides-to-be, client-facing professionals and teens alike.
Accurate: The brackets and archwires are custom-made for your exact smile for precise results.

Comfortable: Incognito brackets are hand polished and extremely low profile, so they are easy for your mouth to adjust to.
Versatile: Lingual braces can be used to treat issues from simple to complex.
Hypo-allergenic: Because Incognito brackets are made from gold alloy, they won’t bother patients with nickel allergies.
