Lingual BracesIn Tallahassee
At SmileWorks, we offer lingual braces — a discreet orthodontic solution placed on the back side of your teeth, so your treatment stays your little secret.
Why Choose Lingual Braces at SmileWorks?
If you’re looking for the effectiveness of traditional braces without the visible brackets and wires, lingual braces may be the perfect choice. They work just like standard braces but are attached to the inside (lingual) surfaces of your teeth, making them virtually invisible when you talk or smile.
Our orthodontic team uses advanced diagnostics and precision placement techniques to ensure your treatment is both effective and comfortable. Because every set of lingual braces is custom-made, we can tailor your care to your specific bite and alignment needs — whether you’re correcting crowding, closing gaps, or improving your bite.
We know adult and teen patients often want to keep orthodontic treatment low-profile. Lingual braces allow you to enjoy all the benefits of comprehensive tooth movement without changing your outward appearance.
Benefits of Lingual Braces
Positioned behind your teeth, lingual braces are hidden from view, offering a discreet treatment option without sacrificing results.
Each bracket is designed specifically for your teeth, creating a more precise fit and reducing the risk of speech interference or discomfort.
From bite correction to significant tooth movement, lingual braces deliver the same powerful results as traditional braces — without the visible hardware.
The Lingual Braces Process
Comprehensive Consultation
We begin with a free orthodontic consultation to assess your bite, tooth alignment, and oral health. This includes high-resolution digital X-rays, an iTero® 3D scan, and detailed photographs. We’ll discuss your goals, evaluate if lingual braces are right for you, and answer all your questions about treatment, timeline, and cost.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Using your digital scans, we’ll create a fully customized set of brackets designed to match the unique shape of each tooth. We’ll review your treatment plan together so you know exactly what to expect, from placement to follow-up visits, and show you a projection of your future smile.
Active Treatment
Your lingual braces will be bonded to the back of your teeth with precision for maximum comfort and effectiveness. You’ll come in for regular adjustments so we can make controlled changes and keep your smile progress on track. During this phase, we’ll also give you tips for keeping your braces clean and your mouth healthy.
Smile Retention
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll fit you with a custom retainer to maintain your results. You’ll receive clear instructions on when and how to wear it so your smile stays beautifully aligned for years to come.
