Lingual Braces in Burbank, CA: Hidden, Behind-the-Teeth Orthodontics

An Invisible Approach to Orthodontics

Lingual braces are attached to the tongue-side (inner surface) of your teeth, keeping them completely hidden from view while gently straightening your smile. They provide the same dependable results as traditional braces—often with custom brackets and digital treatment planning—making them an excellent option for professionals, performers, or anyone seeking truly discreet orthodontics without sacrificing effectiveness.

Start Your Smile Journey

Choose a discreet, behind-the-teeth solution for a straighter smile. With custom lingual appliances, flexible scheduling, and digital monitoring, you can achieve efficient tooth movement—without visible brackets during work, performances, photos, or special events. Financing options are available to keep treatment accessible and convenient. We’re conveniently located in Burbank, CA. Call (818) 938-2224 to schedule your consultation.

What Are Lingual Braces?

Lingual braces are an advanced orthodontic solution placed behind the teeth for patients who want straighter teeth without visible brackets or wires. Instead of being bonded to the front surfaces, custom brackets and wires are attached to the tongue side of your teeth. This hidden placement allows them to function like traditional braces—gently guiding teeth into alignment—while remaining out of sight.
  • Completely hidden Positioned on the backs of your teeth—virtually invisible in daily life, photos, or meetings.
  • Custom-fit comfort Brackets are crafted to follow your tooth contours for a smoother feel.
  • Effective treatment Corrects crowding, gaps, bite issues, and misalignment with dependable results.
  • Confidence throughout A discreet option for teens, adults, and professionals who prefer invisible care.
With lingual braces, you receive the full benefits of orthodontics—without the appearance of traditional front-facing brackets and wires.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

  • Consultation & imaging A comprehensive exam with digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and intraoral scans (iTero or TRIOS) captures the details of your bite.
  • Personalized treatment plan CAD/CAM planning and Digital Smile Design map out your treatment and provide a preview of expected results.
  • Custom bracket fabrication Lingual brackets are designed with advanced 3D technology and precisely bonded to the backs of your teeth.
  • Ongoing adjustments Regular visits fine-tune tooth movement; T-Scan digital bite analysis may be used to ensure balance, comfort, and function.
This digitally guided approach ensures treatment stays discreet, efficient, and tailored to your individual needs from start to finish.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Lingual Braces?

Lingual braces are an excellent option if you want the effectiveness of traditional braces without visible brackets or wires. Because they sit behind the teeth, they allow you to maintain a natural look throughout treatment.
  • Discreet treatment Perfect for those who want orthodontic care to remain virtually invisible.
  • Crowding or spacing Effective for treating mild to moderate misalignment or gaps.
  • Aesthetic priorities A great choice for teens, adults, and professionals who prefer a low-profile solution.
  • Lifestyle needs Helpful for athletes or musicians where front brackets could interfere with performance.
  • Previous orthodontic relapse Corrects shifting that may have occurred after earlier orthodontic treatment.
During your consultation at Coastland Dental, we’ll assess your bite, oral health, and goals to determine if lingual braces—or another option such as Invisalign® or ceramic braces—are best suited for your smile.
