Braces are simply a special type of brackets, which are also known as curly brackets. In common practice, they are used are in poetry and music, to mark repeats or joined lines. They are also used in mathematics, often in notation for denoting or defining a set.
Lingual braces are hidden braces. They get fixed to the inside of a personâs teeth instead of the outside of the personâs teeth. They are still made up of brackets and wires, but nobody will be able to see them. Lingual braces arenât quite the same things as traditional braces (whether those are made up of metals or ceramics). With these braces, the patient does not have brackets bonded to the teeth and arch wires held in by elastics. With these braces each bracket is custom made to fit each tooth inside of a patientâs mouth.
