Completely invisible orthodontic treatment. Lingual braces are placed behind your teeth, hidden from view while effectively straightening your smile.
Lingual braces are fixed braces that are placed on the back (lingual) surface of your teeth—the side facing your tongue. Because they're positioned behind your teeth, they're completely invisible when you smile, talk, or laugh. No one will know you're undergoing orthodontic treatment unless you tell them.
Also known as hidden braces or incognito braces, lingual braces work exactly like traditional braces. The brackets are custom-made to fit the unique shape of each tooth's inner surface, connected by archwires that gradually move your teeth into alignment.
At Curve Orthodontics in Bangalore, Dr. Garima Gupta (MDS Orthodontics) offers lingual braces for patients who need complete discretion during treatment. If you're a professional, public figure, or simply someone who wants invisible braces in Bangalore without the limitations of removable aligners, lingual braces may be the perfect solution.
Placed behind your teeth, lingual braces are 100% hidden from view. Perfect for those who need absolute discretion.
Capable of treating complex cases that aligners can't handle, including severe crowding and significant bite issues.
Each bracket is custom-manufactured to precisely fit the unique contours of your individual teeth.
Unlike removable aligners, lingual braces work 24/7 without relying on patient discipline.
Ideal for executives, actors, models, and anyone whose career demands a brace-free appearance.
Smile freely throughout your treatment journey without anyone noticing your braces.
Lingual braces use the same principles as traditional braces—brackets bonded to teeth, connected by archwires that apply gentle pressure to move teeth over time. The key difference is placement: on the inner surface of teeth rather than the outer.
The Process:
Popular Lingual Systems:
Lingual braces are ideal for:
Considerations:
The most affordable and proven option. Ideal for complex cases and budget-conscious patients.
Tooth-colored brackets for a subtle appearance. A middle ground between metal and invisible options.
Advanced bracket technology with fewer adjustments and potentially faster treatment.
Removable, nearly invisible trays. A different approach to invisible treatment.
Adjustment Period The first 1-2 weeks require adaptation. Your tongue will need time to adjust to the brackets on the back of your teeth. You may experience:
Most patients fully adapt within 2-4 weeks, and speech returns to normal.
Treatment Duration Lingual braces treatment typically takes a similar amount of time as traditional braces—usually 18-24 months depending on case complexity. Some simple cases may be faster; complex cases may take longer.

As an adult, I was worried about how braces would look, but thanks to Dr. Garima, I opted for Invisalign clear aligners at Curve Orthodontics. The entire process was smooth—appointments were on time, monitoring was done regularly, and the aligners fit perfectly. What I liked the most is that the treatment was completely discreet, and I could remove the aligners while eating. Love my new smile :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Lingual braces work exactly like traditional braces but are placed on the back of your teeth (the tongue side). Custom-made brackets are bonded to the inner surface of each tooth and connected by archwires that gradually move your teeth into alignment. The placement makes them completely invisible from the front.
Like all braces, lingual braces cause some initial discomfort as your teeth begin to move. Additionally, your tongue may feel sore for the first few weeks as it adapts to the brackets. Most patients find the discomfort manageable and temporary—adaptation typically occurs within 2-4 weeks.
Lingual braces at Curve Orthodontics start from ₹1,00,000, more than traditional or ceramic braces. The price reflects custom bracket manufacturing, specialized materials, and the advanced expertise required, and flexible EMI options are available. See our full [braces cost in Bangalore](/pricing/braces-cost-bangalore/) guide.
Most patients are candidates for lingual braces, but not everyone. Lingual braces work best for patients with adequate tooth size to accommodate brackets on the inner surface. Very small teeth, severe deep bites, or certain jaw relationships may make treatment challenging. Dr. Garima will assess your suitability during consultation.
Yes, temporarily. Most patients experience some speech changes during the first 1-2 weeks, particularly with sounds like "S", "T", and "D". This is because your tongue needs time to adapt to the brackets. With practice, speech returns to normal—most patients speak normally within 2-4 weeks.
Both are invisible treatment options, but they differ significantly. Lingual braces are fixed and work 24/7 without compliance—ideal for complex cases and patients who may forget to wear aligners. Invisalign is removable but requires 22 hours daily wear. The best choice depends on your case complexity, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
