The British Lingual Orthodontic Society (BLOS) has produced a new leaflet highlighting why lingual braces are such an attractive method of teeth straightening, for both patients and professionals.

The models pictured on the leaflet are a mother and daughter who are receiving lingual orthodontic treatment at the same practice.

According to BLOS, many members are seeing the same trend of parents and children going into treatment together. Research has shown that lingual braces are better for the health of the teeth and are able to deliver more precise results when set-ups are used. A recent study analysed for white spot lesions and the number that developed or progressed on lingual surfaces. Decalcification was nearly five times more likely and over ten times worse with a labial appliance than a lingual one.
