Lingual Braces for Los Angeles
What are lingual braces?
Traditional metal braces fit on the front of teeth. These are the metal braces you probably remember getting from a dentist in your teen years. But now there are many types of dental braces to improve oral health and provide orthodontic care to fit every lifestyle!
But lingual braces are different. They are braces that are attached behind the teeth. This makes them virtually impossible to see. Most of our patients refer to this technology as “invisible braces” or “incognito braces!”
At the Orthospaceship, Dr. F. Isaac Hakim and Dr. Chantal Hakim offer lingual braces for those who are seeking an invisible option when wearing braces. Because lingual braces are placed behind the tooth they are almost completely hidden, making the braces almost completely invisible. This allows you to fix your dental problems without others seeing your orthodontic treatment appliance.

Who Is a Candidate for Lingual Braces?
Lingual braces can be a fantastic option for many patients—but they aren’t ideal for every case. Because of where the brackets are placed, some bites respond better than others.
Good candidates typically include:
- Adults or teens looking for a discreet treatment option
- Professionals, actors, influencers, or anyone who is regularly on camera
- Patients who need moderate to complex treatment but want something invisible
Lingual braces may not be ideal for:
- Patients with very narrow arches or who require significant expansion
- Deep bites where the top teeth fully cover the bottom teeth
- Very severe overbites or underbites
That said, at The OrthoSpaceship, Dr. Hakim and Dr. Chantal have experience treating everything from cosmetic-only cases to the most complex orthodontic challenges. Lingual braces can absolutely be part of a successful, health-driven treatment plan when chosen carefully.

Life with Lingual Braces: What to Expect
We’re not going to sugarcoat it—lingual braces take some getting used to. But our patients often say the adjustment is well worth the benefits.
Speech:
Some patients experience a minor lisp for the first few days. We offer simple strategies to speed up the adjustment period.
Eating:
Soft foods are helpful at the beginning, but most patients return to normal eating habits within a few weeks (minus the usual sticky or crunchy foods you’d avoid with any braces).
Oral Hygiene:
Cleaning requires a bit more attention, but we provide personalized tools and instructions to make it manageable—think water flossers, interdental brushes, and expert hygiene coaching at every visit.

Why Patients on Camera Choose Lingual Braces

Whether it’s for a role, a photo shoot, or simply day-to-day confidence at work, lingual braces offer the ultimate in discretion—and the results speak for themselves.
Some patients even switch from clear aligners to lingual braces when they realize they prefer a treatment option that doesn’t rely on self-discipline. With lingual braces, you don’t have to remember anything—your smile improves while you live your life.
