Is there a way I can minimise the number of appointments needed when receiving lingual braces?

Q.
Hello Mr. please could you tell me about these lingual braces? my dentist mentioned them the other day. he suggested that I have braces and I got a bit upset as I really don’t like them. I am not comfortable at the dentist so after managing to stick to a consistent appointment routine/plan it was a bit of a kick in the face to hear that. he then obviously said that I had a lot of options and that a lingual brace could be one. are there different form of lingual brace ? I want to have a quick method to minimise the amount of appointment I’ll have to be in you see. please could you advise me? thanks

There are many different types of braces and if done correctly can be confortable. Obviously there must be a good reason for the dentist to suggest straightening themm eg: to facilitate better cleaning.
At present I would suggest you explore your options and have a consultation with a specialist orthodontist who can provide all options available to you, then you can decide. You will be amazed what there is available!
Good luck
