Are lingual braces as effective as normal braces?
These are braces fixed on the inner surface of teeth. The traditional ones are a little uncomfortable as it is in contact with the tongue. But relax , the modern lingual braces are custom made with a gold base and are more sleek in design as it takes up the tooth shape and hence are more comfortable. Dental braces (also known as orthodontic braces) are devices used in dentistry that align and straighten teeth. Conventionally metal braces were used for a long time but recently newer techniques have been developed. Invisible and lingual braces are equally efficient and offer more confidence as they cannot be seen by others.

What is the best type of braces to wear that are unnoticeable?
There are many different kinds of braces, but coming from a 15 year-old who wears them, you either want the lingual kind, or the clear ceramic kind. The lingual kind are applied to the back of the teeth, but are much more expensive. The clear ceramic kind are attached to the front of the teeth and average about between $3000-$4000. If you don't either of those, Invisalign is currently available, but it costs a little more. Also, you will have to go to get a new mouth piece(virtually unnoticeable)every week or so, and this can be troublesome. I hope this helped.
