Dr. T.C. Hardy can help to achieve a straight and beautiful smile less conspicuously. Make an appointment if you’re near Lakewood, CO.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t
What are Lingual Braces?<\/h2>
Like traditional braces, hidden braces consist of brackets, bands and an archwire that put tension on the teeth to gradually move them into the proper position. They are placed on the back of the teeth, facing the tongue. This makes them virtually invisible and is the main reason for their appeal. They are ideal for those who play a wind instrument or a sport. Not all orthodontists offer this treatment as it requires additional education and training.

How does InBrace Lingual Braces work?<\/h2>
We use InBrace from Swift Health Systems Inc.Lingual braces work similarly to conventional braces that are worn on the front surface of the teeth such as Dental braces teens. However, the placement of lingual braces is on the inside part of the teeth which may create complications to the orthodontist and the patient. One obvious complication is that there won’t be enough space between the upper and lower sets of teeth to support the braces. Custom-made brackets are prepared via CAD\/CAM. Read on for more of what is involved in this procedure:
- Clinical Evaluation<\/strong> – before deciding if these braces are a compatible treatment for you, our expert dentists will perform a detailed examination of your teeth and evaluate the misalignment of your teeth so they can create a customized plan for you.<\/li>
- Making Impressions of your Teeth<\/strong> – Before making impressions of your teeth, we will clean your teeth thoroughly. Then, we’ll use a special scanner to record 3D impressions of your upper and lower teeth.<\/li>
- Cast and set-up<\/strong> – The lab technician will produce a cast based on these impressions and modify it according to specs and special instructions by the dentist. The set-up is a physical mock-up of your teeth when in perfect alignment.<\/li>
- Fabrication of Treatment Plan<\/strong> -The mock-up dimensions are digitized in 3-D using special software then fed to the computer. A Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software is used to design brackets that are made for your teeth. Brackets for each tooth are custom-designed separately.<\/li>
- Production<\/strong> – A computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software (computer-aided machining) in the computer uses this design data to produce the brackets using numerically controlled(NC) milling machines. Robotic bending is used, again under computer control, to prepare the archwire.<\/li>
- The applicator tray<\/strong>– The fabricated brackets are embedded to an applicator tray, a stent that should fit over your teeth perfectly and hold the brackets in exact alignment for the dentist to perform the bonding procedure. This hardware is sent to the dentist. Attachment of the brackets onto the teeth is done in the next appointment, and it involves the following steps:<\/li>
- Teeth preparation<\/strong> – The teeth are thoroughly cleaned and roughened to permit better bonding.<\/li>
- Cement application<\/strong> – A cement is applied over brackets in the applicator tray.<\/li>
- Bonding<\/strong> – The applicator tray is pressed precisely against the teeth and all the brackets of the jaw (either upper jaw or the lower jaw) are bonded simultaneously.<\/li>
- Removal of the tray<\/strong> – Once the cement has cured, the dentist will break away the tray leaving the brackets firmly attached to the teeth. Excess bonding can be scraped away.<\/li>
- The archwire<\/strong> – The archwire can then be placed. Ligatures are not needed.<\/li><\/ul>Lear more about anterior<\/a>\u00a0crossbite treatment.<\/p>\t\t\r\n\t\t\t

A light continuous force is applied, which results in healthy tooth movement, keeping your gums and teeth healthy during the treatment.
