Finding out that your child needs braces can be a big step.  You may have noticed that the teeth were not as straight as you would like, and now it is time to work with the professionals to get this all fixed. There are several types of brace that you can consider getting to help straighten the teeth and make them look great. While most parents are going to choose between traditional braces and Invisalign, there are some other options, like lingual braces.

Just like with any other type of braces that you may choose for your child, or even for yourself, there are some benefits and some drawbacks to them. Some of the benefits of choosing lingual braces are:

# These braces are completely invisible. This can make them a discreet option if you don’t want everyone knowing you need braces.

# They do a great job of correcting a lot of different dental issues depending on what is going on in. your mouth.

# These braces can be custom-made to the patient. No matter what is wrong with your teeth, you can use the lingual braces to help fix it and make your smile better than ever before.

While there are a lot of benefits to enjoy when you pick out lingual braces, there are also some drawbacks to consider. Some of these include:

# Like with Invisalign, these are going to cost a bit more than the traditional braces you can choose. Consider whether insurance is going to pay for these or not.

# When you are getting the initial adjustment done on the braces, you are going to feel some discomfort. This is common for any type of braces though, so it is something to be aware of and ready for.

# These will require more appointments compared to other types of braces. You will need to go into the dentist more often to get them fixed, so see whether this is going to even be possible with your current schedule or not.
