Lingual orthodontics involves placing custom-made braces on the back (lingual/tongue side) of teeth, making them completely invisible. This technique is highly popular among adults for its aesthetic advantage, offering efficient treatment for complex dental corrections without visible metal brackets.

Key Aspects of Lingual Orthodontics:
Aesthetics and Comfort: Braces are invisible from the outside. Modern systems have low profiles (e.g., 1.3 to 1.65 mm) to enhance comfort.
Customization: Brackets are custom-made, often using CAD/CAM technology, to fit the specific, unique shape of each patient's teeth.
Biomechanical Efficiency: This approach offers excellent control over tooth movement, particularly for complex rotations and closing extraction spaces.
Placement and Procedure: Brackets are applied using indirect bonding, usually via specialized trays, ensuring high precision.
Disadvantages: Potential for speech changes, particularly early in treatment, and initial tongue discomfort.
