Invisible braces or lingual braces are an orthodontic technique where the braces are placed on the inner surface of the teeth.  The brace is completely secret to the outside world.  The technique is more difficult (for the orthodontist) and will usually require longer treatment times and longer appointments.  Also the speech is somewhat affected and the tongue mat be sore compared to regular braces.  It can take 2-3 weeks for things to feel 'normal' with a lingual appliance. As with any brace good oral hygiene is essential to ensure there are no problems with tooth decay
