Lingual Braces - Chicago, IL

Incognito Orthodontic Treatment

Traditional braces are very effective, but some patients are reluctant to commit to them because of the way they look. If that is true of you, visit our team to discuss lingual braces. They can correct misalignment without calling a lot of attention to themselves — in fact, they may not call any attention to themselves! Dr. Dale, our on-staff orthodontist, uses advanced INBRACE technology to help patients enjoy the benefits of straighter teeth without traditional braces.

What Lingual Braces Are

The word “lingual” describes anything that relates to or is facing the tongue. Lingual braces, therefore, are facing the inside of the mouth rather than the outside. Since they are on the backs of the teeth, they are virtually unnoticeable to casual observers.

Lingual braces work on the same principle as traditional braces. Brackets are attached to the teeth, and a wire connects the brackets. The brackets and wire apply continuous, gentle force to the teeth in order to move them into their proper positions. Following treatment, you should have a well-aligned bite that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Similar to other lingual braces, INBRACE utilizes small brackets that are attached to the interior surface of the teeth, or the side facing the tongue. The brackets are attached to each other with a wire that applies steady pressure to the teeth until they come to proper alignment.

INBRACE was created by orthodontists for orthodontists. Its diverse team consists of orthodontists, engineers, bone biologists, designers, and computer scientists to combine the best of all these fields to result in treatment that is effective and truly invisible.
