Invisible Braces
Lingual means "towards the tongue." Lingual braces are "invisible" because they are hidden behind the teeth. Advancements in lingual technology allow lingual braces to treat a wide variety of orthodontic problems. Dr. Singer has used lingual braces continuously since they were invented in 1982 and is one of the few orthodontists locally to treat with lingual. He is the most experienced in lingual and a member of the American Lingual Orthodontic Association.
