How Do Lingual Braces Work?
Lingual braces are an advanced orthodontic option that straightens teeth from behind the smile. Instead of brackets placed on the front of the teeth, lingual systems are customized and positioned on the tongue-facing side, making them virtually invisible throughout treatment.
At Texas Family Orthodontics, we offer multiple lingual brace options, including Brava® Hidden Braces and InSmile® Lingual Braces. Both systems deliver precise, personalized tooth movement while maintaining discretion, comfort, and efficiency.
Using advanced Independent Movers® technology, Brava is programmed to move each tooth based on your unique smile design. Because every tooth is guided independently and continuously, treatment is efficient, precise, and always working—even when you’re busy living your life.
The Benefits of Lingual Braces
Lingual braces combine the effectiveness of traditional orthodontics with the discretion many patients want. By working behind the scenes, these systems deliver powerful results without changing how your smile looks during treatment.
Virtually Invisible Treatment
Because lingual braces are placed behind the teeth, they remain hidden from view—making them an ideal option for adults and teens who want discreet orthodontic care.
Customized for Your Smile
Both Brava and InSmile systems are custom-designed based on detailed digital scans, allowing each tooth to move according to a personalized treatment plan.
Always Working, No Reminders Needed
Unlike removable aligners, lingual braces stay in place and work continuously. There’s nothing to remove, lose, or remember to wear throughout the day.
Efficient, Controlled Tooth Movement
Advanced materials and programming allow lingual braces to move teeth gently and precisely, often reducing the need for frequent in-office adjustments.
A Refined Option for Busy Lifestyles
With fewer disruptions to daily routines and no visible hardware, lingual braces fit seamlessly into professional, social, and academic life.
