Lingual Braces (Secret Braces TM / Tiggle braces)
Lingual Braces (Secret Braces TM), also known as Tiggle braces, places metal braces on the back of the teeth. Most patients choose Lingual Braces because they are near invisible than traditional braces because they are on the back of the teeth. To be able to get a Lingual Braces, the patient must have teeth long enough to provide sufficient room to attach on the inside of the teeth. This is most Lingual Braces patients are adults (as children’s teeth are often too small for Lingual Braces brackets). Also, Lingual Braces may not be the best option for patients with excessive bite. For example, patients with deep overbite might run into trouble with brackets falling off more frequently.
