FAQs

What are lingual braces and how do they differ from traditional braces?

Lingual braces are placed on the back side of your teeth, unlike traditional braces which sit on the front. This makes lingual braces much less visible while still effectively correcting alignment issues.

Are lingual braces comfortable to wear?

Initially, you may feel some tongue discomfort or slight speech changes, but most patients adapt quickly. Our team at Pacific Dental Center provides tips and care instructions to ease this transition.

How long does treatment with lingual braces take?

Treatment length depends on your specific dental needs but is generally similar to traditional braces, ranging from 18 to 36 months.

Can I eat normally with lingual braces?

Yes, but it’s best to avoid very hard or sticky foods that might damage the braces. Our team will guide you on the best diet during treatment.

How do I maintain oral hygiene with lingual braces?

Brushing and flossing can be a bit more challenging, but with the right tools and techniques, you can keep your teeth clean. We’ll provide detailed cleaning instructions when you visit us at Pacific Dental Center.
