Lingual technique<\/h2>\n

With this technique, the brackets and arches are attached to the lingual surface (inside) of the teeth. The advantage of this technique is that the braces remain invisible during the entire treatment, although all tooth movements can be carried out, similar to conventional fixed braces. As a rule, the tongue gets used to the internally attached appliances after a few weeks. The lingual technique requires a complicated and time-consuming laboratory procedure, which justifies the increased costs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Lingual brackets<\/h6>\n

The conventionally manufactured lingual brackets are adapted to the tooth surface with a plastic base and customised. The individualisation of the bracket base restricts the tongue space more. This makes it more difficult for the tongue to get used to the new situation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
