Braces are of the most common form of orthodontic treatment. Lingual braces are a boon to anyone who wants to straighten their teeth without inviting unwarranted attention. They are fixed orthodontic appliances which are fixed to the underside of the teeth. Lingual braces generate an inward pull to misaligned teeth in order to bring them into the seamless curvature of the mouth.
While in this regard, lingual braces appear to the most logical option for a patient, then isn’t everyone opting for them as opposed to buccal braces. Firstly, lingual braces are more expensive and secondly, they come with few hurdles which are required to be mitigated.
These hurdles are imminent and even the best dentist in Kolkata, Dr. Suranjan Banerjee cannot help you avoid it. But at Smileline orthodontics, we educate our patients how to work around these caveats without hampering their daily life.
