Lingual braces are popular thanks to their high aesthetics and good treatment effectiveness. However, this method also has certain limitations that make it not as widely popular as other forms of orthodontics.
Lingual braces (or lingual braces) is an orthodontic method that uses appliances including brackets, archwires and elastic bands. Its mechanism of action is similar to regular braces. The only difference is that the braces are attached to the inside of the teeth (opposite the tongue).
The following subjects can use lingual braces:
Lingual braces are suitable for people who work in jobs that focus on appearance, or simply want to hide braces when communicating. To know whether you can be treated with this method or not, you should go directly to the dentist for examination and advice.
As shared in part 1, the biggest advantage of lingual braces is high aesthetics. Braces are attached to the inside of the teeth so it is very difficult for the other person to recognize that you are wearing braces. This helps patients become more confident when communicating and has a positive impact on mental health.
Lingual braces are very aesthetically pleasing
Besides the aesthetic advantages, lingual braces are also very effective. The force applied from the wire slowly pulls the teeth to the correct position on the jaw, adjusting the bite correctly. This method can treat difficult to complex cases, improving chewing ability and facial beauty.
However, lingual braces also have disadvantages that make this method not popular. May be mentioned as:
Patients will encounter many difficulties during oral hygiene. Because the braces are attached to the inside of the teeth, the patient’s vision is obscured, especially the upper jaw. This makes you spend more time removing leftover food stuck to braces or stuck between teeth…
Patients have many difficulties when cleaning
The price of lingual braces is often higher than that of conventional methods using the same brace material. The reason is because lingual braces require the doctor to have professional qualifications and experience, have a flexible treatment plan for each case and good control of traction to bring the teeth to the appropriate position.
This is also a major limitation that makes lingual braces not popular today. At first, the patient’s tongue often collides with the braces, causing discomfort or tongue irritation. The fix is quite simple: you use dental wax to apply to areas that often collide and will minimize damage and pain. In addition, time will also help patients get used to braces.
Patients may experience discomfort during the initial period of lingual braces
As shared in the previous section, the cost of lingual braces is quite high when compared to front braces of the same type. The specific price depends on the patient’s tooth condition, minor surgeries that need to be performed (if any) and some other service fees.
