Invisible Dental Correction with Maximum Precision

Patients seek lingual orthodontics in Barcelona for both aesthetic and functional reasons.

Lingual orthodontics in Barcelona is an ideal alternative, as the brackets are placed on the inside of the teeth, offering maximum aesthetics without compromising precision. Unlike conventional orthodontic systems, this method combines effectiveness, invisibility, and comfort, making it the preferred option for those seeking predictable results without altering their image in social or professional life.

Lingual braces or Invisalign?

Both lingual orthodontics and Invisalign are invisible treatments that are very popular among adults who want to align their smile discreetly. The main difference is in the scope: lingual braces correct everything from mild cases to complex malocclusions, while Invisalign is usually recommended for mild to moderate problems.

Lingual orthodontics uses customised brackets placed on the inside of the teeth, making them completely invisible from the outside and capable of delivering very precise results. In contrast, Invisalign works with removable transparent aligners, which are comfortable and easy to clean, although they require discipline on the part of the patient, as they must be worn for at least 22 hours a day.

Another advantage of lingual braces is that they can be placed partially, correcting only the necessary teeth. Invisalign, on the other hand, always works with a complete set of aligners for the entire arch. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on the type of malposition, aesthetic needs and the preference of each patient.
