If you are considering getting orthodontics in Braintree, find out if lingual braces are right for you.<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Are you tired of a crooked smile? Are you finally ready to take the plunge toward a straighter teeth? If so, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

congratulations! Choosing Lingual Braces to get orthodontics is a big step, but we know you\u2019ll be happy with the results. Opting for orthodontics means that you will no longer have to deal with a crooked smile again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you are looking into your treatment options then chances are you\u2019ve heard a little about lingual braces. But how much do you really know about getting lingual braces? Find out more about this type of orthodontics and how it could change your smile for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are lingual braces?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking to straighten your smile but you don\u2019t want to deal with traditional metal brackets and wires that make it obvious that you are wearing braces, then consider other discreet options like lingual braces. While lingual braces look just like traditional metal braces, instead of being cemented to the front of your teeth they are adhered to the back so people won\u2019t be able to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the pros and cons of opting for lingual braces?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The major benefit of lingual braces is that you can hide the fact that you are wearing braces. This is particularly a great option for someone whose smile isn\u2019t right for Invisalign, but is still looking for a more subtle way to wear orthodontics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the drawbacks to lingual braces, however, is that they can be harder to clean. Food can easily get trapped between the brackets, wires and spaces between teeth, which can be harder to see if your braces are on the inside of your smile. Therefore, it\u2019s imperative that you spend extra time and attention brushing and flossing your teeth while wearing lingual braces so you don\u2019t develop cavities or gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are lingual braces right for me?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have good oral hygiene and are looking to straighten your teeth then lingual braces might be a great option for you; however, those with small teeth, narrow jaws or major malocclusions like overbites might not be suitable for lingual braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To truly find out whether lingual braces could improve the look and health of your smile you need to first schedule an orthodontic consultation in Braintree. Contact Dr. George Salem, MA today and get one step closer to a straighter smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
