Lingual treatment

Lingual treatment is a form of orthodontic treatment in which the brackets are placed on the tongue-side surface of the teeth instead of the outer (labial) surface. Since usually nothing is placed on the front surface of the teeth, it can be considered the most aesthetic orthodontic treatment option. Its disadvantages are its cost and the fact that, being on the tongue side, it can be relatively uncomfortable for the tongue. They are usually produced as custom-made brackets for each person, but mass-produced lingual brackets are also available. This choice should be made according to the patient’s problem.
