They work by putting gentle forces on your teeth, encouraging them into their positions using a series of traditional and modified techniques.
Lingual braces are suitable for straightening crooked teeth which require mild to moderate movement and for closing gaps in-between teeth. A dentist would need to check suitability. Dr Craig Lewis has undergone further training to learn how to place these braces and provides consultations free of charge. Speak to our experts about lingual braces in Cardiff.
The dentist customises the brackets to fit the patient’s mouth by taking an impression of the teeth before installation. Each bracket is then created as per the position and alignment of the tooth in the mouth. The dentist then uses a special cement to all the brackets on the mouth. This is different from traditional brace installation where standard braces are used and placed on each tooth at a time.
They are made of self-litigating wires. This allows the braces to adjust well to changes in the teeth positions. In addition, it shortens the treatment period thereby, giving you a new smile in a matter of a few weeks to months. Treatment duration depends on the individual needs of the patients. However, when compared to other methods, the treatment is more effective.
These braces are becoming extremely popular for obvious reasons. Contact us to find out more about Lingual Braces in Cardiff today.
Lingual braces are designed mainly to improve the visible smile, focusing on the six teeth at the front of your mouth. It’s quicker than any other orthodontic system and is ideal for people that are in the public eye, or people who simply do not want visible braces on their teeth. Great improvements can be made to your facial symmetry, improving the aesthetics of your smile. Another fantastic benefit is that there is no need to worry about getting the braces stained from foods/drinks because they are invisible.
Our lingual braces in Cardiff are also made of a lightweight, fine material that moves the teeth in position effectively. The braces are, as a consequence, comfortable, and result in minimal pain and friction while eating and moving the mouth.
