Lingual/metal-braces/invisalig… Questions!?

By Orthodontics Editor, on June 28th, 2009

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to get lingual braces on the back of your upper teeth, and in order to save money get the traditional braces (clear ceramic) on your lower teeth (where they are not that noticable)?
Does anyone have any experiences with this – does orthodontists do this?
Is it something everyone can get provided they have the money? Or does it not work on all cases?
I never got braces because my dentist said the bite was fine and therefore there was no reason to get it. But my teeth are crooked/crowded in the front of my mouth – both upper and lower and even though my bite is fine (no overbite, crossbite or undebite) it is indeed a cosmetic problem for me.
Does that help (having a decent bite and the only problem being crowded/crooked teeth) and is invisalign then maybe the option for me?
Thanks in advance.

  Lingual braces cost about 3 times ave braces price so rather go for conventional braces that are clear to save money, but if you ahve them money then lingual top and clear bottom is the way to go

  lingual braces will hurt your tongue & cause interfearance in speach. Its better to go in for the commercial braces.
