Abstract

Lingual orthodontics has a its main advantage that it is a discreet and aesthetic technique capable of performing orthodontic dental movements similar to traditional lip braces, despite being a technique that has been on the market since 1975, it has not had the desired great reception. due to high cost, discomfort in viewing by the operator, difficulty in hygiene, etc. However, technological progress has allowed the technique to be reconsidered for application since it has improved biomechanics, allowing treatment planning and execution according to the patient's needs. The objective of this review is to analyze the literature given about the knowledge of lingual orthodontics. It’s also to review the biomechanics and the reported efficiency, for which a selection of 27 articles was made. In the past 5 years, 111 articles were published discussing orthodontics, both lingual and labial. It is shown however, that there are no significant differences between lingual and labial orthodontics and either of the two are efficient as long as the orthodontist has the knowledge and skills to use these techniques.
