“Do lingual braces work faster?”

It is comparable to other orthodontic techniques, seek a consult from a board certified orthodontist to give you specific information about your case.

Hello In response to your question, do lingual braces work faster? Lingual braces are braces that are placed on the backside of the teeth, making them less visible compared to traditional braces that are placed on the front of the teeth. The primary goal of braces, regardless of their placement, is to gradually and effectively align the teeth and correct any bite or alignment issues. In terms of treatment speed, the effectiveness and duration of orthodontic treatment with lingual braces may vary from case to case. While there isn't a significant difference in the treatment duration between lingual braces and traditional braces, some studies suggest that lingual braces may require slightly longer treatment times. The treatment duration primarily depends on factors such as the complexity of the orthodontic issue, the severity of misalignment, the individual's oral health, and how well the individual follows the orthodontist's instructions. Additionally, the expertise and experience of the orthodontist can also influence the treatment duration. It's important to consult with an orthodontist who can evaluate your specific orthodontic needs and provide you with a personalized treatment plan, including an estimated duration of treatment. They will consider various factors to determine the best treatment option for you, whether it be lingual braces or another orthodontic appliance.
