I am uncertain about my lingual braces

January 8th, 2013
Q.

After having undergone 6 months of social 6 lingual brace treatment I have found the results to be disappointing & believe that my case was a little too severe for such an appliance. I am now looking into getting a full arch lingual brace to correct alignment & crowding problems. In order to achieve this it’s evident that the arch on my left side needs to be expanded outwards (from my canine back) to create a more rounded/arched shape & in doing so create space to alleviate the crowding of my canine & lateral incisor & as a result allow correct alignment. My question is can the full arch lingual brace perform this sort of correction or would I be better off going with an arch expander first to correct the arch shape & then the lingual brace to align everything as desired? With thanks.
