Lingual Braces in New York City

Lingual braces are a discreet orthodontic treatment that straighten teeth using brackets and wires placed on the back (lingual side) of the teeth. Unlike traditional braces, they are virtually invisible from the front, making them a preferred choice for individuals who want the benefits of braces without the visible metal.

At Wall Street Orthodontics, we offer customized lingual braces to patients across New York City, including those who live or work in the Wall Street and Financial District areas. Dr. Lucas W. Shapiro, DDS, provides expert guidance and precision treatment planning to ensure effective results that fit your lifestyle.

Lingual braces function similarly to traditional metal braces, but with a key difference: they are placed behind the teeth. These braces are custom-fitted to your dental anatomy using digital impressions and advanced imaging for:

• Complete invisibility from the front
  
  
• Precise control of tooth movement
  
  
• Predictable results for both aesthetic and functional concerns
  

Lingual braces are ideal for professionals, performers, and anyone who wants to maintain a natural appearance during orthodontic treatment.

Lingual braces are popular among NYC patients who want a highly discreet option without sacrificing results. Key advantages include:

• Hidden behind the teeth for complete discretion
  
  
• Effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues
  
  
• Customized for maximum comfort and efficiency
  
  
• Suitable for adults and teens alike
  
  
• No risk of visible staining or discoloration on front teeth
  

Patients considering lingual braces may also want to explore C5 Hidden Orthodontics, another behind-the-teeth solution offered at our practice.

Lingual braces are best suited for:

• Adults and older teens seeking a discreet treatment option
  
  
• Patients with cosmetic concerns about front-facing appliances
  
  
• Individuals with mild to moderate misalignment
  
  
• Those comfortable with meticulous oral hygiene and regular check-ins
  

If you're unsure whether lingual braces are right for you, Dr. Shapiro can also recommend alternatives such as Invisalign or Hybrid Treatment based on your goals and orthodontic complexity.
