Abstract

Objectives Esthetics is a major consideration in the decision to undergo an orthodontic treatment. This report focuses on lingual orthodontics as a valid alternative for patients who require a truly “invisible” treatment. Materials and methods In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the field of biomechanics. We carried out a review of the literature to analyze the main features of the lingual orthodontic technique and to compare this approach with the vestibular technique. Results The advantages of the lingual approach include reduced distance between the applied force and the Center of Resistance and a bite-opening effect. The disadvantages include a reduced interbracket distance and a bowing effect. Conclusions Compared with the vestibular approach, the biomechanics used in lingual orthodontics offer potential advantages in terms of esthetics and treatment time along with valid functional results.
