Lingual braces wore about a year and now I wanted to write a review to share my impressions. The procedure for installing braces went quite well, but in the following days it is still better to sit at home. After all, people may not understand what you are saying, since there is no diction. In the future, some advantages: worn comfortably, invisible, the result is effective.

“My orthodontist explained to me that in terms of correction, the best ones are the usual ones. But I still set aesthetic. Almost imperceptibly, albeit more slowly. The doctor did not recommend linguals, I do not know why. By the way, to put them, you need a qualified orthodontist who has a lot of experience. After all, 90% of quality and success depends on it ...

Incognito in the upper jaw set six days ago. Nothing terrible that I was afraid, did not happen. At first there were problems with diction (she could not clearly pronounce all those who were ringing and hissing), but after a day she adapted herself. True, little teeth hurt. I think in a week to put on the lower jaw system. It is not very convenient to eat, you have to watch the language so that it does not rub against braces. They need to be cleaned carefully and for a long time. But what's wrong with that? But soon I will have a charming smile!

Result after lingual bracesRecently, I put aesthetic braces. I read about them a lot of different reviews, but in fact everything is not so much sore. I thought it would be much worse. That's just hard to chew, I eat only soft. My friends advised me to always carry a knife with me, so that vegetables and fruits could be cut into small pieces. Even at the clinic I was given a list of unwanted and dangerous products. I was very upset when I saw the cud on this list!

“Six months have passed and now I can say with confidence that they rule Incognito! Previously, the mouth was a complete mess, and now the teeth are almost flat! Strains only what you need to visit the dentist often and clean the braces. Recently I made two more fluoridation procedures. A little teeth ached after the first visits to the doctor and the suspenders of the arc. Now everything is great!

In short, I don’t pay attention to the design, and my teeth slowly straightened. It is a pity that you can not eat chips and gnaw apples. I also miss the salty nuts.

Invisible wear already half a year and very glad that I put them, and not the external system, although the price for it was tempting. I just did not really want to go with these terrible pieces of iron. And now I'm happy with the aesthetics. I practically don’t feel any discomfort, except during cleaning and eating. But teeth already noticeably trimmed. Now we have to wait for the final result.
