Lingual Braces — The "Totally Invisible" Fixed Alternative
While aligners are highly discreet, Lingual Braces are the only truly invisible orthodontic system because they are bonded to the posterior (tongue-side) surface of the teeth.
In 2026, lingual systems are fully customized using CAD/CAM technology. Because the back of each tooth has a unique contour, the brackets are custom-milled to fit the specific anatomy of the patient. This system provides the mechanical strength of traditional braces—capable of treating the most severe skeletal misalignments—while remaining completely hidden from view. The primary clinical challenge with lingual braces is the initial "adaptation phase," where patients may experience temporary speech changes or tongue irritation.
