What Are Brava Hidden Braces?

Brava hidden braces are a fully customized orthodontic system placed on the inside (lingual side) of your teeth, making them completely invisible from the outside. Unlike traditional braces, they are designed using advanced 3D technology to fit your unique tooth structure and deliver precise, efficient movement.

Because they are fixed in place, Brava braces provide consistent, controlled results without relying on patient compliance like removable aligners.

Benefits of Brava Hidden Braces

Brava hidden braces are ideal for patients who want both discretion and effectiveness:

  • Completely hidden behind your teeth
  • Customized for precise tooth movement
  • Effective for mild to complex orthodontic cases
  • No need to remember to remove or wear aligners
  • Ideal for professionals, teens, and public-facing individuals
  • Supports overall facial development and airway-conscious treatment planning

How Brava Hidden Braces Work

Digital 3D Evaluation and Treatment Planning

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 3D scan and airway-focused assessment at Inspire Orthodontics. This allows Dr. Reem to evaluate both your bite and breathing patterns for a fully personalized plan.

Custom Bracket Placement Behind Teeth

Each bracket is custom-designed and bonded to the inside of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit and minimal visibility.

Gradual Tooth Movement with Precision Control

Using gentle, continuous forces, Brava braces move teeth into their ideal position over time with high accuracy.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments

Regular visits ensure your treatment stays on track while maintaining comfort and efficiency.

Treatment Timeline: What to Expect

Treatment with Brava hidden braces typically follows these stages:

  • Initial consultation and digital diagnostics

Most patients complete treatment within 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of their case.

Airway-Focused Orthodontics at Inspire Orthodontics

At Inspire Orthodontics, treatment goes beyond straight teeth. Dr. Reem focuses on optimizing airway health and overall facial development.

Many orthodontic issues stem from narrow jaws and restricted airways. That’s why we often integrate advanced solutions like MARPE/MSE adult expanders and TAD expanders.

We also collaborate with ENTs and allergists to ensure your treatment supports long-term breathing and wellness.

Complementary therapies such as myofunctional therapy can further enhance results.
