Why hidden braces can cost more
Lingual braces are placed on the inside surfaces of the teeth, which can require more detailed planning, customised appliances, and chair time than standard fixed braces.
When lingual braces may be considered
Patients often compare lingual braces when they want fixed brace control with lower visibility. They are not suitable for every case, and clear aligners or ceramic braces may be better options for some patients.
What to ask before choosing lingual braces
Ask whether scans, appliance setup, adjustment visits, breakage support, retainers, and reviews are included. Comparing the whole treatment package is more useful than comparing headline fees.
