I want to straighten my teeth. Are lingual braces better than normal braces?

No, they are comparable in many cases and one may have an advantage over the other in some. Seek a consult from a board certified orthodontist to give you specific information about your case.
Lingual braces obviously have the advantage of generally not being visible. They can be more uncomfortable and more difficult to clean than regular braces.
We only offer invisalign. I would recommend reaching out to an orthodontist who specializes in this area!
Lingual braces are mainly intended for patients who don't want the "look" of braces.
No, upper lingual braces are rarely an option due to the way most people bite.
