Lingual Braces - iBraces

Los Angeles/Beverly Hills orthodontist Dr. Atoosa Nikaeen offers lingual braces, including the popular iBraces. Lingual braces are nearly invisible as they attach to the back, or lingual, surface of the teeth. Once the tongue adjusts to the intrusion, linguals ARE more comfortable than standard braces.

Lingual braces are designed and fabricated using new CAD/CAM and rapid prototyping technologies. The brackets are made out of a highly durable, dental-gold alloy. The precision wires are designed and bent to your specifications using robotic technology.

PROCESS

After you and Dr. Nikaeen have discussed your desired outcomes, she’ll take a precise impression of your teeth. This mold will serve as a guide from which your custom brackets and wires will be fabricated.

Your new braces will arrive approximately six weeks after Dr. Nikaeen took your impressions. She’ll then prepare your teeth and apply the new braces using a precise process.

Follow up requires occasional visits to Dr. Nikaeen for monitoring and progress appointments, until your teeth have reached the desired configuration.

WHO CAN WEAR LINGUAL BRACES

Men and women aged 13 to 60-plus are eligible for linguals. If you qualify for standard braces, you can be treated using these nearly invisible braces. Dr. Nikaeen can help you decide if these are the best braces for your needs.

Lingual braces are particularly suited to several categories of patients.

  • People concerned about damaging the front surfaces of their teeth
  • Those who don’t want their braces to show
  • Adult professionals
  • Athletes involved in contact sports
  • Musicians who play wind instruments
