Lingual Braces in Da Nang
Fixed braces bonded to the tongue side of the teeth so they are hidden from view — planned and reviewed inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital.
Lingual braces are fixed braces bonded to the inside — the tongue side — of your teeth, so they are hidden from view when you talk or smile. They appeal to people who want the control of fixed braces without brackets showing on the front of the teeth.
At Vinmec Picasso, orthodontic treatment is planned and reviewed inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital. Your bite, gum health and the movements your teeth need are assessed before any braces are fitted, so the recommendation is based on what suits your case rather than appearance alone.
How lingual braces work
Brackets are bonded to the inner surfaces of your teeth and joined by a wire that is adjusted at regular visits to move the teeth gradually towards their planned position. Because the appliance is fixed and out of sight, it works continuously without affecting how your smile looks during treatment.
What to expect day to day
Placing brackets behind the teeth means cleaning takes more care, and many people notice a short adjustment period — some effect on speech and a little tongue awareness — that usually eases within the first days to weeks. Lingual braces are not the right answer for every case, and front-mounted braces or clear aligners may suit some people better. After examination the team explains which options genuinely apply to you, with timing, so you can decide with a full picture. Results vary from person to person.

Is it right for you?
Often recommended when:
- You want fixed braces that are not visible from the front
- Your case suits fixed braces and lingual placement
- A discreet appearance during treatment is a high priority for you
May not be the right option when:
- The case is complex in ways that suit front-mounted braces better
- You prefer a removable option and can wear aligners consistently
Suitability is confirmed only after a clinical examination. Alternatives are discussed where they exist.
What the treatment involves
Examination & records
Your teeth, bite and gum health are assessed and records taken so the case can be planned and lingual braces confirmed as suitable.
Treatment plan
A staged plan explains how your teeth will be moved, the likely timeframe and how lingual braces compare with other options.
Fitting & adjustments
Brackets are bonded to the inner surfaces of your teeth and a wire fitted. You return periodically for adjustments as the teeth move.
Removal & retention
Once treatment is complete the braces are removed and a retainer is recommended to hold the new position.
Recovery & aftercare
- Cleaning around inner-surface brackets takes extra care; the team shows you how.
- An adjustment period is common early on, including some effect on speech and tongue comfort that usually eases.
- A retainer is recommended afterwards, as teeth can drift without one. Results vary.
