There are many reasons to choose this type of orthodontic brace to straighten your teeth, and here are just a few:

1. Each braces custom-made perfectly for you, meaning they are more comfortable
2. The braces are almost impossible to see as they are placed on the inside of your teeth
3. Due to the unique way the braces work treatment time is shorter
4. As the braces are custom-made and thinner, you will find that they are easier to get used to and have less impact on your speech and eating habits.
5. The system has been around for many years, so experience is high and we are familiar with correcting many types of Crooked tooth problem.
6. Lingual orthodontics can be used for a wide age group of people.
7. With traditional orthodontics, there are occasionally white marks left on the front of the tooth after the brackets have been removed. Because lingual orthodontics does not show, these white marks also do not show.
