Braces no one sees
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces sit behind your teeth — completely hidden from view. Not “less visible” like clear aligners or ceramic brackets. Actually invisible. For adults who need comprehensive orthodontic treatment but can’t have any visible hardware — performers, public-facing professionals, brides and grooms — they’re the gold standard.
Every lingual brace is custom-made to fit the back surface of your teeth precisely. The technology is sophisticated, the aesthetics unbeatable, and the results as good as traditional braces for most cases. At Clarendons, our specialist orthodontic care in the heart of Leeds delivers lingual braces with the expertise they demand.
What are lingual braces?
Lingual braces are traditional orthodontic braces fitted to the back (tongue side) of your teeth instead of the front. They use the same principle as standard braces — brackets bonded to teeth connected by an adjustable wire — but positioned where nobody can see them.
Modern lingual systems like Incognito use custom-made brackets, each one designed specifically for the tooth it sits on, for a precise fit and optimal tooth movement. Treatment duration is similar to traditional braces: typically 12–24 months.

Features and benefits
Fitted behind your teeth, lingual braces are completely hidden from view. No one will know you’re in orthodontic treatment — not colleagues, not clients, not photographs.
Unlike clear aligners (which have limits for severe cases), lingual braces handle the full range of orthodontic issues — including complex rotations, vertical movements and significant crowding.
Every bracket is custom-designed for your specific tooth anatomy. The personalised fit delivers more predictable results and faster treatment than generic brackets.
The Clarendon's Difference
Lingual braces are technically demanding — the inner surfaces of teeth are harder to access, brackets are smaller, and precision is critical. At Clarendons, we only offer lingual braces because we have the expertise to deliver them properly. Custom systems like Incognito bring the latest technology to every case, giving our patients the same quality results as traditional orthodontics — entirely invisible.
Our award-winning clinic in Leeds city centre supports you throughout what is a more intensive orthodontic journey. The tongue takes a week or two to adapt. Speech changes slightly at first, then normalises. Our team provides detailed guidance, wax for any irritation, and responsive support. By the end, you’ll have a beautifully straight smile — and no one will know how you got there.

They’re priced higher than Invisalign or traditional braces. At your consultation, we’ll provide a clear, itemised quote.
