Hidden Braces in Bromsgrove

How Hidden Braces Work

At Orthodontics For You in Bromsgrove, we ensure every step of your treatment is clear, smooth, and personalised:

1. Initial Consultation – We’ll begin with a detailed (and free!) consultation to assess your teeth, understand your goals, and determine your suitability for hidden braces.
2. Digital Scanning – We use the latest digital scanning technology to capture ultra-precise X-rays and 3D images of your teeth. This allows us to create an accurate, detailed map of your mouth, laying the foundation for a treatment plan that’s completely personalised to you.
   
3. Custom Fabrication – Once your plan is in place, your custom-made braces are expertly crafted in a specialised lab. Each bracket and wire is precisely tailored to fit the unique contours of your teeth, ensuring optimal comfort, effectiveness, and results.
   
4. Fitting Appointment – We’ll carefully attach the braces to the backs of your teeth in a single appointment, ensuring minimal disruption to your routine. You’ll also receive instructions on how to care for your braces.
5. Regular Adjustments – You’ll attend scheduled follow-ups every 6-8 weeks for minor adjustments that gently guide your teeth into their new position.
6. Final Results – Once your treatment is complete, your braces will be removed, and retainers will be provided to help maintain your beautifully aligned smile.

Benefits of Hidden Braces

Here’s how hidden or lingual braces can help benefit your smile:

Complete Invisibility
These braces are placed on the inner surface of your teeth, making them invisible from the outside. This makes them a top choice for adult patients who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to the process. You get all the benefits of fixed braces with none of the visible hardware.

Custom-Made Fit
Every set of hidden braces is precisely engineered to fit the contours of your teeth. Using detailed digital scans and impressions, we create a treatment that hugs the back of your teeth comfortably and securely. This tailored approach allows for greater control over tooth movement, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.

Effective for Complex Cases
While clear aligners work well for mild to moderate issues, hidden or lingual braces are effective across a broader range of cases, including complex orthodontic problems. Their fixed nature allows your orthodontist to move teeth in ways that removable systems may not, making them an excellent option for patients who require more intensive correction.

Smooth & Comfortable
Hidden braces are designed with comfort in mind. The brackets and wires that rest against your tongue are rounded and smoothed to reduce irritation. While there may be a short adjustment period at the beginning of treatment, most patients find that the braces become unnoticeable as their mouth adapts.

Maintain Confidence
These braces allow you to straighten your teeth while maintaining complete confidence in your appearance. Whether you’re giving presentations, attending events, or just going about your day, you’ll never have to worry about visible brackets impacting your image. 

Who Can Benefit from Hidden Braces?

Hidden braces are designed for:

• Adults and professionals who want a discreet orthodontic solution.
• Patients with mild to severe alignment issues, including crooked teeth, spacing, and bite problems.
• Individuals looking for a premium, personalised treatment experience.
