Lingual Orthodontics is the most aesthetic  treatment modality , and is the best treatment option for adult patients, since the brackets are invisible, it provides a high level of control, as all fixed appliances, and is excellent for the treatment of all kinds of malocclusions.

For the patient, Lingual Orthodontics has several obvious advantages over labial appliances. Many adults prefer to have invisible brackets, when recommended by their clinician, as an appliance that will give them comparable results to the labial appliance treatment.
There are also some mechanical advantages to the lingual appliance treatment in deep bite cases as well as open bite cases.
Over the past 25 years there have been many improvements in appliance design, laboratory and bonding procedures, and in clinical, mechanical techniques, that simplify the lingual treatment. Thanks to the pioneers of Lingual Orthodontics, Dr. Craven Kurz, Dr. Fujita and the Lingual Task Force of ORMCO company, and thanks to the recent developements:  computerized brackets positioning, small comfortable and reduced friction brackets,   the lingual technique today is very reliable and almost as easy as the labial technique.
