Hidden braces (also called lingual or invisible braces) are orthodontic brackets placed on the back (tongue side) of your teeth, making them completely invisible when you smile. No one will know you are in treatment unless you tell them.

Hidden braces function exactly like traditional braces, using brackets and customized wires to apply gentle, continuous pressure to align your teeth. The key difference is that they are custom-designed to fit the precise contours of the backs of your teeth, keeping them completely hidden from view.

Hidden braces at The Art of Braces range from $8,090 - $10,800 for children and $9,490 - $12,000 for adults (InSmile/InBrace). C5 lingual braces are $3,690 - $6,698 for adults only. We offer 0% APR in-house financing. View our full pricing for details.

Yes! Hidden braces are just as effective as traditional braces for most orthodontic cases. Modern systems like Brava use independent tooth-movement technology that can actually be more efficient than conventional braces for certain tooth movements.

There may be a brief adjustment period (1-2 weeks) as your tongue adapts to the brackets on the back of your teeth. Most patients adjust quickly and speak normally within days. Modern hidden braces systems are designed to minimize speech impact.

Many dental insurance plans with orthodontic benefits cover hidden braces the same as traditional braces. Our team will verify your coverage and explain your out-of-pocket costs. We also offer flexible, interest-free payment plans to make hidden braces affordable.
