"A perfect smile" improves a person's facial symmetry, as well as improving his overall appearance. Although patients want to have smooth teeth and a perfect smile, they often do not want to get the wires, which will enable them to reach the result, because of their aesthetic concerns. Lingual brackets are the best alternative to traditional brackets for patient groups (politicians, business professionals, artists, mannequins, athletes, etc.) with high aesthetic concerns. Patients apply to orthodontists to achieve a perfect smile. "A perfect smile" improves a person's facial symmetry, as well as improving his overall appearance. Although patients want to have smooth teeth and a perfect smile, they often do not want to get the wires, which will enable them to reach the result, because of their aesthetic concerns. Lingual brackets are the best alternative to traditional brackets for patient groups (politicians, business professionals, artists, mannequins, athletes, etc.) with high aesthetic concerns. Thus, patients can achieve the most perfect results without sacrificing their appearance, thanks to a system that is impossible for them to be noticed by others. Literally, “Lingual” means the tongue side of the teeth. Lingual orthodontics, as the name implies, is the technique where the brackets to which the force wires are attached are attached to the back surfaces of the teeth instead of the front sides of the teeth. This treatment method, which started to be used in the late 1970s, has developed over the years and has become almost complete with the effect of high technology today. This system, which used to be used in limited cases, can now be used in most cases.
Tailor-made system
Labial brackets placed on the front faces of the teeth can be noticed by others even if they are produced with aesthetic materials. Therefore, most of the patients avoid orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. Lingual brackets are completely invisible. For this reason, they are preferred by everyone who avoids wearing wire due to its appearance. Lingual orthodontics today has the same potential as labial orthodontics. Lingual orthodontics is applied as two systems, conventional and personalized techniques. Conventional system is disadvantageous due to minimum patient comfort, extra effort for the physician and difficulties at the end stage. For this reason, customized systems have been developed today. The most advanced of individual lingual techniques is the Incognito system produced by 3M company.
