Lingual braces are available at Dr. Iván Lindo’s Clinic in Bogotá, Colombia. Dr. Iván Lindo has over 35 years of clinical experience and specializes in orthodontics.
Planning and treatment time
Treatment planning starts with a review of medical history, X-rays, photographs, and dental models. The team uses these details to create an individual plan.
A Straumann SIRIOS intraoral scanner captures a 3D image of the mouth in under 20 seconds. It works without impression paste and has 20-micron resolution.
Most orthodontic cases take 1–3 years. Simpler cases may take 12–18 months, while severe bite problems can take up to 36 months.
Regular adjustments are part of treatment. Mild discomfort may occur for a few days after an adjustment and can be managed with common painkillers and soft foods.
Care during and after braces
Daily cleaning helps protect teeth and brackets during treatment. The clinic’s hygiene guidance includes:
- Brush after each meal with a special orthodontic brush.
- Use dental floss with a threader every day.
- Rinse with antibacterial mouthwash.
- Avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage brackets.
A retainer is needed after braces are removed to help keep teeth in their new positions. The clinic is ASCO-accredited.
For complex cases, a multidisciplinary team can hold virtual meetings to plan treatment. Dr. Iván Lindo’s professional memberships include the Colombian Dental Implant Association and the Colombian Academy of Osseointegration.
The clinic cautions against “express” orthodontics and unrealistically short treatment plans, as moving teeth too quickly can harm roots and dental structures. To learn whether lingual braces may suit your needs, you can request a consultation through Bookimed.
