Lingual – Hidden braces

Lingual braces, also referred to as hidden or invisible braces are an advanced generation of brace that are hidden behind the teeth. They offer the straightening precision of traditional fixed braces with added discretion, so you can comfortably go about your daily routine without feeling brace-conscious.

Lingual braces from Cedar Dental Care are suitable for all ages – children and adults alike, who want to correct their tooth position.

We custom make each brace to your individual requirements to maximise comfort and ensure precise results, this is achieved by using the latest computer technology when creating the brace.

The length of treatment varies depending on how much movement you need to achieve your new smile, but for mild cases, results can be seen in as little as 6 months. Your dentist will advise on your individual treatment needs following an initial consultation.

Benefits of hidden braces from Cedar Dental Care:

  • Customisation: They are individually designed and produced just for you
  • Aesthetics: Because they are placed on the back of the teeth they are virtually invisible from the outside
  • Time: Visible success in as little as 6 months (in cases of mild teeth movement)
  • Comfort: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and speech interference, after just a short adjustment period, you will be able to eat and speak normally
  • Reliable: Correction of all types of teeth misalignment and bite concerns
  • Suitable for all age groups
  • No risk of decalcification to the front tooth surface

Steps to your new smile:

  1. Consultation and planning
    Book a consultation with our dental experts at Cedar Dental Care. Our dentist will discuss your desired outcome, your treatment options and give you an idea of time to complete your treatment.

    Our dentist will then invite you for a follow on appointment to take impressions of your teeth, taking precise measurements to make your custom made braces just for you.
  2. Transformation
    After your braces have been custom made, our dentist will fit them ensuring they fit well and are comfortable, so you can begin your straightening journey.

    You’ll need to return to see our dentist every 4 to 6 weeks for a wire change, so the teeth can be slowly guided into position.

    Our dentist will continually monitor your treatment at each appointment, making any required adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure the best results are delivered.
  3. Retaining your new smile
    Once your new smile is achieved, you’ll need to wear a retainer to ensure your teeth remain beautifully aligned. Retainers can either be removable clear trays, similar to a mouth guard, or a fixed retainer which are discreetly attached to the back of the teeth for continual support.

If you are looking for teeth straightening and want to know more about your options, get in touch to arrange a consultation at Cedar Dental Care.

My dentist Abi Dundas is amazing and I never worry about visiting the dentist if my appointment is with her. I don’t know what I will do if she ever decides to retire.

6th June 2026

I had a pain in my tooth, which was getting progressively worse. I am in the middle of my A-levels and I explained this and Abby agreed to see me at some point in the afternoon so I waited until she had a chance to see me, I did not have an appointment. She saw me relatively quickly and saw that I needed a filling & she sorted it then and there. I am very grateful for being seen so quickly.

Abi took time and care looking after me at the appointment. She knows that I have anxiety about most things and was really good at putting me at ease.She explained in detail the options and also during the procedure on what she was doing and how it would feel.She and the rest of the team are lovely and really great at looking after patients.

I needed help soon and I went into the dentists and was asked to return later that afternoon. Sunill was friendly and made me feel at ease explaining what our next step should be.. my problem was dealt with by him and a more permanent solution to be sorted a week later
