iBraces
iBraces, developed by LingualCare, are invisible braces that are made of customized metal brackets placed behind the teeth, instead of in front of teeth as in regular braces. Each bracket is custom-made from impressions of your teeth, which are then scanned into a computer and CAD/CAM models are made. What’s great about iBraces are that they cannot be seen, do not get in the way of your speech, need fewer visits to your orthodontist and take a shorter treatment time. It’s also perfect for athletes and musicians who play wind instruments. Costs fall within the $8,000 to $10,000 range and can be prohibitive. Consult your orthodontist for the best options for you.
