Lingual Braces in Grand Rapids
Powerful, Invisible Treatment
Dr. Rebecca Monticello and the team at Grand Ridge Orthodontics are proud to offer lingual braces—a powerful option that won’t hide your smile.
We’ll place your lingual braces behind your teeth at our Grand Rapids Office, so you get all the benefits of braces, but nothing gets between the world and your smile.
Lingual Braces: What They Are & How They Work
Dr. Monticello will place your lingual braces on the back surfaces of your teeth, making them completely invisible when you smile. They function like traditional braces, using brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into alignment, but with the added benefit of a discreet appearance.
Engineered for Discreet, Powerful Treatment
Lingual braces provide the same level of correction as traditional braces while remaining completely hidden. Each bracket bonds to the back of your teeth, allowing for effective movement without altering your appearance.
How Lingual Braces Move Your Teeth
Just like traditional braces, lingual braces use brackets and wires to apply gentle, continuous pressure that shifts your teeth into alignment.
Because they’re custom-fitted and positioned behind your teeth, they deliver precise results while maintaining a natural, unobstructed smile.
Why Choose Lingual Braces?
Lingual braces offer a unique combination of effectiveness and discretion, making them an excellent option for patients who want powerful orthodontic treatment without the visibility of traditional braces.
Completely Hidden Treatment
Because they are placed behind your teeth, lingual braces remain invisible in photos, social settings, and professional environments, letting you straighten your smile with confidence.
Comprehensive Orthodontic Correction
Lingual braces are just as effective as traditional braces, making them a great choice for treating everything from mild misalignment to complex bite issues.
Designed for Your Comfort
Each bracket is custom-shaped for a more comfortable fit, reducing irritation while still delivering powerful, precise tooth movement.
Are Lingual Braces Right for You?
Lingual braces are a great option for many patients, but the best way to determine if they’re right for you is through a consultation. Here’s what to consider:
Best for Teens & Adults
Lingual braces are an excellent choice for older teens and adults who want a discreet treatment option without sacrificing effectiveness.
A Solution for Complex Cases
From crowding to bite correction, lingual braces offer the same level of correction as traditional braces, making them a great fit for a wide range of orthodontic needs.
Considerations for Bite Alignment
Patients with deep overbites may need an evaluation to determine if lingual braces will be comfortable and effective for their specific case.
