The lingual system is an innovative technique for orthodontics, also called incognito orthodontics, in which it is developed by implanting the brackets on the inside of the teeth, which gives it that "incognito" characteristic, since they are not visible at the first sight of the human eye; This treatment has no contraindications, that is, it can be applied to any patient with any dental condition, it has no restrictions when implementing it; This system also exponentially reduces oral injuries generated by traditional fixed appliances or braces, therefore there are fewer injuries when speaking, kissing or chewing.
It can also be mentioned that the lingual system makes an aesthetic contribution, since as it is located in the back of the teeth, it avoids the changes generated in the patient's facial appearance. In the same way, the lingual system exerts a powerful action to carry out the necessary corrections in the patient's mouth, as if using common braces; Its use is very comfortable, this is influenced by the adhesion site, as these are applied to the back of the teeth, their structure tends to be thinner to avoid injuries or friction with the lower face of the lingual muscles (tongue).
These devices tend to be more precise when it comes to modifying the location of the teeth, which exponentially reduces the necessary application time, thus optimizing the results in the patient. Like any foreign object in the buccal area, when applying the lingual system, an adaptation period must be met, this period ranges between 2 or 3 weeks after implantation where the patient may have some difficulty articulating or emitting words, however after this period the comfort presented by the patient is much greater with respect to traditional braces.
Due to the precision that is required when applying these appliances, specialized studies are needed, generally the orthodontists who practice this therapeutic methodology have been awarded magister's specifically in orthopedics and dentofacial orthodontics.
