At MyBracesClinic, we understand the need for a discreet option when it comes to orthodontics.
That’s why we offer customised lingual braces right here in Singapore – a truly invisible solution placed behind your teeth.
Straighten your teeth without anyone knowing !✨
No need to remove aligners for meals or meetings – just let these fixed, hidden braces work their magic 24/7.
Lingual braces are custom-made braces that are attached to the inner (tongue-facing) surfaces of your teeth, making them invisible from the outside.
Several brands and systems of lingual braces exist, each with unique features. Some examples include:
3M™ Incognito™ Appliance System – a fully customised lingual system that was previously popular but has exited the Singapore market as of 2025.
Brava by Brius – an innovative system that uses independent arms for each tooth, aiming for more efficient tooth movement.
eBrace by 易美正畸 – a customised lingual solution offering digital design and precision brackets.
Lingual braces are a great option for many people who want a discreet way to straighten their teeth. They are especially suitable for:
🔹 Adults and working professionals
Ideal for those who want to maintain a polished, braces-free appearance in social or professional settings.
🔹 Teens concerned about appearance
Great for image-conscious teens who prefer a hidden option over visible metal or ceramic braces.
🔹 Patients needing fixed appliance control
Lingual braces are fixed and always working, which is helpful for patients who may not be disciplined with aligners.
🔹 People with moderate to complex orthodontic needs
Whether it’s crowding, spacing, bite issues, or rotations — lingual braces can handle a wide range of cases when planned correctly.

🔹 1. Tongue discomfort
Because the brackets sit on the tongue side of your teeth, you may experience soreness, ulcers, or irritation, especially in the first few weeks.
🔹 2. Speech changes
A temporary lisp or speech difficulty is common, especially with certain words or sounds. Most patients adapt within 1–2 weeks.
🔹 3. Adjustment appointments may take longer
Lingual braces are more technique-sensitive, and your orthodontist may need a bit more time for wire changes or bracket checks.
Yes. They’re usually more expensive than front-facing labial braces or clear aligners due to customisation, lab work, and specialised orthodontic skill.
Just like front-facing braces, lingual braces require additional tools to maintain good oral hygiene:
Interdental brushes or super floss to clean between teeth. Alternatively, Air flossers can also help remove debris effectively
Fluoride mouthwash to strengthen enamel and protect teeth
