If you are going to pursue lingual braces as your treatment of choice, I hope you are in an area where an orthodontist is proficient in the technique.

Very few orthodontists have enough experience to effectively utilize lingual (tongue-side) braces technology with quality treatment outcomes. In fact, most of the orthodontists that presently utilize this system have done less than 2 cases. Proficient orthodontists will tell you that proficiency only comes after an orthodontist has successfully treated over 100 patients.

Unfortunately, this lack of experience by most orthodontists gives the technology a poor reputation, because inexperienced orthodontists do not accomplish quality treatment outcomes. However, orthodontists that have become proficient in the technique actually prefer the technology to conventional facial (face-side) braces and predictably produce quality treatment outcomes.
