Asked in Dental Braces
What is better lingual braces or normal braces?
It really depends on your particular case. Lingual braces, which
are applied to the back of your teeth and therefore mostly unseen,
will straighten your teeth just as effectively as normal braces,
but lingual braces cost much more, because they're harder to work
with and require more customization than normal braces. Your best
bet is to speak to an orthodontist, like Dr. Yakov Eisenberger in
Brooklyn, to find out which makes more sense for you.
If you prefer good appearance to expenditure, then blindly go
with lingual braces
