Lingual Braces

Achieve Straight Teeth Invisibly With Brava Braces

Once upon a time, undergoing a straightening treatment meant committing to metal braces for an extended period of time. While these braces are highly effective when it comes to straightening misaligned teeth, not everyone is thrilled about their obvious appearance.

Luckily, today we have Brava® braces. Board-certified orthodontist Dr. Adam Schulhof is a leader in the world of orthodontics and has extensive experience and expertise when it comes to helping patients achieve beautifully straight teeth with this unique and highly discreet straightening method.

What Are Brava Lingual Braces?

In recent years, technological advancements have allowed patients to choose from several options when it comes to the method in which they achieve straight teeth. Many adults who want to achieve straight teeth without the appearance of “metal mouth” opt for Invisalign, a series of plastic aligner trays that subtly shift teeth into alignment. However, Invisalign has limitations. For one thing, it cannot fix teeth that are severely misaligned. Invisalign also depends on the responsibility of the wearer as the trays are removable.

Luckily, Brava braces are another discreet way to straighten teeth and can treat even the most severe cases of misalignment. Also known as lingual braces, this straightening method works just like traditional braces without the appearance of metal on the surface of the teeth. That’s because the wires and brackets are applied to the back of the teeth, leaving the front of the teeth free of the appearance of braces.

With Brava braces, patients don’t have to worry about taking their straightening device out throughout the day like they do with Invisalign. Once the braces have been applied to the back of the teeth, they are there to stay.

When it’s time to have your braces applied, Dr. Schulhof will apply a bonding material to the back of your teeth. This bonding material will be used to place each bracket into the correct location. Then, he will attach the wires that hold the brackets together and apply the necessary pressure to ensure that the teeth align properly over time. Throughout the duration of your treatment, you will visit Dr. Schulhof regularly to ensure that your teeth are shifting properly.

Options For Lingual Braces NJ

Here at the Schulhof Center, patients have a variety of teeth-straightening options to choose from so they can find a treatment that works best for them. One of the most discreet types of braces patients can choose is lingual braces. Lingual braces are different from traditional styles of braces because they bond to the back of the teeth instead of the front.

This allows the patient to smile as usual without feeling self-conscious about their braces since the hardware is hidden behind their teeth. While lingual braces are generally more challenging to install and have been known to be more uncomfortable than traditional braces, advances in technology have made lingual braces easier on patients and orthodontists. Today, we have the advantage of Brava lingual braces technology.
