Aim:
In dentistry today, the most important reason why
orthodontic treatment is not preferred by adults is aesthetic
concerns. The greatest expectation of individuals who need
orthodontic treatment is that the treatment method does not
create aesthetic concerns during this process. In this respect,
lingual orthodontics is indispensable not only for patient
satisfaction but also for increasing number of cases for
orthodontists as the only real invisible orthodontic treatment
option. In this presentation, indications, contraindications,
treatment process, difficulties and duration of treatment, oral
hygiene, cost, advantages and disadvantages and patient
satisfaction will be discussed in all aspects.
Material & Method:
Lingual bracket systems have been
developed during time in order to achieve successful and
predictable treatment results and customized lingual brackets
have been produced. Today, customized lingual brackets
have brought orthodontic and digital dentistry together and
lingual orthodontic treatments have produced predictable
and successful results as much as the labial orthodontic
treatments. In this presentation, different orthodontic
malocclusion cases from simple to complex will be shared
from beginning to the finishing treated with customized
lingual bracket systems.

Results:
Treatment results of adult patients who underwent
lingual orthodontic treatment will be shared.

In the past, force transfer, torque
control and bracket shape were big problems for orthodontists
treating patients with lingual orthodontics. With lingual
orthodontics solving its problems by technology, its impact
on orthodontics with respect to time will be much more in the
future.
