The Hidden Way to Straighten Your Smile

At Melanie Parker Orthodontics, we offer treatment options that fit every lifestyle — including lingual braces, the most discreet way to transform your smile. These braces are placed on the back (lingual side) of your teeth, making them completely hidden from view.  You get the full power of traditional braces without anyone knowing you’re wearing them. If you want to straighten your teeth without changing your appearance, lingual braces might be your perfect fit.

What Are Lingual Braces?

Lingual braces are custom-made brackets and wires that are bonded to the inside surfaces of your teeth — facing your tongue rather than your lips. This design keeps them completely invisible from the front while still delivering the same results as standard braces.

They’re ideal for patients who want a completely hidden treatment option without compromising effectiveness.

Why Choose Lingual Braces?

  • Truly Invisible Treatment: Because the brackets and wires are placed behind your teeth, no one will know you’re wearing braces — unless you tell them.
  • Effective for Complex Cases: Lingual braces use advanced technology to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and bite problems — even in more complex cases.
  • Custom-Fit for Comfort & Precision: Each set of lingual braces is 100% customized for your teeth and bite. This ensures maximum precision and a more comfortable fit than earlier generations of lingual systems.
  • Perfect for Professionals, Performers & Adults: If your career or lifestyle makes visible braces less ideal, lingual braces offer a discreet solution without sacrificing results.

What to Expect

  • Initial Consultation: Dr. Melanie Parker will evaluate your smile and determine if lingual braces are the best option based on your goals, bite, and anatomy.
  • Custom Design & Placement: We take detailed impressions to design braces that are precisely tailored to the back of your teeth. Placement requires skill and precision — something Dr. Parker delivers with years of experience.
  • Adjustments & Care: You’ll visit us regularly for check-ups and adjustments, just like with traditional braces. We’ll also provide guidance on oral hygiene, since cleaning around lingual braces requires a bit of extra care.
  • Treatment Timeline: Most lingual braces treatments take 18–30 months, depending on your specific needs.
