Do the attachments found on lingual braces remain completely hidden?

October 2nd, 2012
Q.

Hi, after doing a lot of research on the web to determine if I think i’m suitable for invisalign i feel that i should be okay for it and that it probably is the best option for me in regards to how discreet it is. i wondered if you could send me some actual photos of a user with invisalign rather than the images i’ve seen on the internet that don’t look very real. i’m considering lingual braces because they’re completely behind the teeth aren’t they? do lingual brace attachments remain completely hidden? thanks for your time, i’m just looking fir a rough idea before i attend my consultation on friday.

Would Lingual braces treatment work for me?

September 26th, 2012
Q.

Hi I am currently enrolled into drama school, I am due to start in 2 weeks. My top row of teeth (particularly the canines) protrude quite significantly and I feel this will hinder my career as an actor. I am looking into receiving braces that will have the bare minimum impact upon my speech (for obvious reasons). What are your thoughts on lingual braces treating a case like mine? How long on average does treatment take and would they affect my speech for long? Thank you in advance.

How do lingual braces move teeth, I understand how conventional one’s do?

May 4th, 2012
Q.

Hello. Dr Saba Qureshi could you please help me on braces. I have a few queries in about them but I shall minimize this as best possible. I want to have braces on the back of my teeth so nobody sees them but I don’t understand how they work. how do they pull teeth? the convex arc around the outside of teeth with normal braces surely means that it’s easier to pull teeth (due to this natural arc shape) but on the inside, how do they pull tight without pulling your teeth inwards (towards the tongue)? I am a little perplexed and it’s stopping me getting the brace. thank you for your efforts Dr I know I am awkward!!

I don’t mind having a brace but do I have to have one of those on the front of my teeth?

April 24th, 2012
Q.

Hi Mr Patel I have been told that I will need to have braces. I don’t mind and actually quite want to have them in order to straighten my teeth. If I can help it though I don’t want the ones on the front of the teeth as I don’t like these. I learned of the lingual braces and the different types of linguals I could get. I was wondering how long it would take to have lingual braces put on? I like the look of the incognito brace, is the better and would it take longer to put on or not? thanks

March 16th, 2012
Q.

Hello. as a 25 year old assistant teacher I don’t feel that traditional braces offer the look of proffesionalism in the workplace. as a reslult I had thought about having a lingual brace. I know there are differnt types of brace (I can see a list of them on the side of the page here) but they are all different as some are on the front of the teeth and the linguals are on that back. what I want to know is that, there are many different types of brace I can see that are for the front but how many different types of brace are there for the back of the teeth or is there just the one option? thanks
