LINGUAL
BRACES

You already know about the traditional metal braces placed on the front of the teeth. What sets lingual braces apart is in their placement on the back of the teeth. Lingual braces have the same components as conventional braces, but they’re fixed to the back of your teeth, on the tongue — or lingual — side of the teeth. Lingual braces are virtually invisible, and that’s the main reason eligible patients choose them.

This partly explains why they are more common among adults than children. One other advantage is if you play a wind instrument or a sport, lingual braces are easier to adapt to than traditional braces.

BIGGEST ADVANTAGE

But perhaps its biggest advantage over other invisible solutions, like Invisalign, is that lingual braces remain on your teeth at all times. You don’t have to worry about losing them, removing them to brush or eat, or getting a new one every couple weeks. Hidden braces are always working, even when you’re eating.

WHAT DO LINGUAL BRACES LOOK LIKE?

Lingual Braces

Lingual Braces look WAY more like traditional metal braces than they do clear aligners, like Invisalign. They even have many of the same components that metal braces do. There are brackets, an archwire, and ligature elastic

Super friendly staff. Dr. Sanchez is great - professional, kind, and will work with you and your specific needs for treatment. I am an adult back in braces again, and they patiently helped me make the decision on what kind of treatment would work best for me. I recommend them 100% for orthodontic care!

I had a wonderful experience with Roland Park Orthodontics. After many poor experiences with male doctors I was specifically seeking a female-led team and that's what I found at Roland Park. Dr. Sanchez and her team do a great job of making adult patients feel welcomed and even remember things about your life to ask about— above and beyond. Everyone who works here is kind and seems happy to be doing their work, a true rarity in the medical field I've observed. I also appreciated that Dr. Sanchez always explained procedures as they were going to happen and answered any questions I had. Dr. Sanchez is also a college professor so she is often training staff members while conducting appointments but everyone is extremely respectful and professional even as they are learning. I never had to wait for appointments and the space is beautiful, modern and well-lit. I think I've basically convinced my husband to do his teeth next!

Super friendly and courteous. They remembered my daughter right away and took the time to ask about her summer. She is always excited to come as well. All around 5 star experience.

My daughter and I are very pleased with Roland Park Orthodontics. Everyone is so incredibly friendly, from the moment you walk in the door. They even had a placard with my daughter’s name welcoming her to her first appointment. The doctor is very knowledgeable, thorough, and takes her time explaining everything. I highly recommend this practice!

Extremely welcoming. Great experience!
Consultation was on large screen so both child and parents could see the teeth and the plan to fix them. Plan of care was well thought out and explained clearly.
Office was very clean and bright! Staff were wonderful!

I was nervous about getting braces as an adult, but my experience with Dr Sanchez has been nothing but amazing! During our initial consultation she seemed to genuinely care about my goals of treatment, and worked with me to find the best option. She has a beautiful office, and her staff have all been so warm and welcoming (Lauren is a pleasure to work with and has followed up with me several times while I begin treatment). This has been a great experience so far, and I’m very grateful to Dr Sanchez and her staff!

Each and every individual at Dr. Sanchez’s practice is amazing! They are always on time with the appointments and it’s fun for the kids to visit them. They are very accommodating incase of an emergency. The studio is a very classy and modern place! We love the receptionist, Lauren, who always greets us with a smile. We also love Dr Sanchez’s assistant, Alena, who is very nice and caring. Overall, I highly recommend the practice!

My daughters and I shopped around for an orthodontic practice - twin girls getting full braces, I’m getting Invisalign. We all loved Dr Sanchez from the get go. The office is an incredibly welcoming space, the staff warm and friendly. I thought the braces process would be difficult but Roland Park Orthodontics is making it seem almost fun and not at all daunting. We are really thrilled to be patients and look forward to having amazing smiles!
