“I am thinking of getting aesthetic braces, as I work in marketing, but do need to stop going to the dentist for fillings. My teeth are quite crooked. I have heard that different kinds of tooth colored brackets are available. What is the difference between them? I make a decent salary, but some are quite expensive. Is the investment really worth it?

Wearing orthodontic appliances has many side effects that can be considered negative. One of them is the aesthetic issue, that a mouth full of metal is not very attractive, to which lingual braces offer a ready solution, by placing the metal on the other side of the teeth. This way, the usual pain and discomfort of getting your cheeks and your lips caught or cut up on your braces is also nonexistent, and the demineralization is also much rarer with these braces, and remains invisible, so you will not have white spots all over your teeth once your time in braces is over. But there is one thing that simply cannot be overcome with braces, lingual or otherwise: the speech impediments that come with them.
