Lingual Orthodontics
It is a treatment method in which brackets attached to the invisible (inner) and tongue-facing (lingual) surfaces of the teeth are used to correct the positional disorders and crowding in the teeth. Since brackets and arch wires are located on the lingual surface of the teeth, it is not understood that there are wires in the teeth. However, this can be a bit uncomfortable for the language. It is possible that we can understand this situation before starting treatment. For this reason, if it is understood that the language will not be disturbed beforehand, the treatment process is arranged according to the shape and severity of the problem.

How is the Lingual Treatment Construction Phase?
In the first examination for lingual braces treatment, orthodontic disorders are detected and lingual braces are designed according to the mouth structure. It is the ideal form of orthodontic treatment, especially for adult patients with complete tooth development, because the brackets are adhered to the back surface of the teeth. Brackets, which are different from the brackets applied to the anterior surfaces of the teeth, are specially prepared according to the inclination of the posterior surface and are indirectly adhered to the teeth as a result of a special laboratory process. There are also special treatment methods known as Incognito and Harmony within lingual orthodontics. In these techniques, gold and nickel-titanium alloy brackets are produced that can be fully adapted to the patient’s teeth using the CAD/CAM system. After the lingual braces are installed, the development of the teeth of the person is followed up with regular controls, and the compatibility problems of the lingual braces in the mouth are determined. Depending on the patient’s teeth and jaw structure, the treatment is completed at the end of 1 – 2.5 years. It is among the most commonly used wire types in Adult Orthodontic Treatment.
