WHY LINGUALS ARE BETTER???

• Esthetics!!!... not only when wearing braces but also after debonding as chemical insults and bad oral hygiene can cause permanent & unsightly decalcification marks on the labial tooth enamel can be avoided.
  
• Easy access for oral hygiene maintenance
  
• Self cleansing nature of the stomatognathic system is maintained.
  
• Clinical judgment of the treatment process can be enhanced
• Evaluation of individual tooth positions can be accomplished by having the labial surfaces free of distracting brackets
• Soft tissue responses to treatment can be judged accurately as no distortion of shape or irritation is caused labially
• In some specific clinical situations linguals work better than labials…
• Intrusion of anterior teeth
• Maxillary arch expansion
• Combining mandibular repositioning therapy .
• Distalization of maxillary molars.
