Share a Flawless Smile with Hidden Braces
In addition to traditional braces and aligners, there are also hidden lingual braces. Hidden Lingual braces are orthodontic appliances that are behind the teeth. This allows patients to benefit from the effectiveness of braces without having to worry about aesthetic concerns and reduce the compliance “wear” factor of aligners. Just like with normal braces, a patient will need to regularly visit Dr. Yelizar throughout the treatment process for short progress checks. Hidden braces from our Queens, NY orthodontist are the most sought orthodontic appliance.
Brava by Brius Technologies
Brava by Brius Technologies are a unique type of orthodontic treatment that is revolutionizing the way people think about straightening their teeth. These specialized "lingual" braces are completely concealed behind the teeth and use Independent Mover technology to make sure treatment is as efficient as possible. Read on below to learn more about how this remarkable innovation may be able to benefit you.
What Is Brava Hidden Treatment by Brius Technologies?
Like other types of "lingual" braces, Brava sits behind the teeth. The braces are completely invisible to everyone else. A thin wire runs along the gums below the teeth, and tiny metal arms extend from it that place pressure individually on each tooth. Brava by Brius moves the teeth independently and simultaneously. This programmed, independent movement helps dramatically shorten treatment time. And, because there are no wires connecting the teeth, patients are able to brush and floss like normal. There is no better orthodontic appliance that can move teeth as predictably and efficiently as Brava by Brius.
What Are the Benefits of Brava Hidden Treatment by Brius Technologies?
Treatment that would take up to 2 years with regular braces may be completed in as little as 1 year with Brava by Brius offered in Queens. And, because Brava uses Independent Mover technology, there are no wires connecting the teeth to interfere with your normal oral hygiene routine.
What about adjustments? You can say goodbye to painful wire or aligner changes. That’s because, with Brava, there is a short acclimation period followed by nearly painless treatment.
Plus, Brava is ideal for image-conscious individuals because the braces are totally invisible to onlookers.

Who Is a Candidate for Brava by Brius Technologies?
Brava hidden treatment may be right for you if:
- You are image-conscious. Traditional braces and even clear aligners can be quite noticeable at times. Brava hidden braces are different due to their unique construction and "lingual" placement. Plus, they allow patients to avoid the development of white spots that are so common with traditional braces.
- You have mild to severe dental misalignment. This treatment is suitable for even complex orthodontic problems. Of course, Dr. Yelizar will need to take a look at your teeth before confirming whether Brava is suitable for you.
- You want easy oral hygiene. Busy teens can especially benefit from not having to make major adjustments to their brushing and flossing routine.
- You want fast treatment. Cases that take years with other forms of orthodontic treatment may take only months with Brava by Brius Technologies.
Studies show that nearly 80% of moms prefer Brava by Brius for their teens, making it a truly premier hidden orthodontic treatment.

Brava by Brius Hidden Braces FAQs
What Is the Brava Treatment Process?
When you begin your journey with Brava hidden lingual braces in our Queens practice, we will start with a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and bite. We will also use advanced scanning technology to capture digital images of your teeth, which will be used as the basis for designing your unique Brava brackets.
Once your brackets have been created, we will carefully place them on the backs of your teeth. The placement process is precise and comfortable, and our team will guide you every step of the way.
Throughout the treatment, you will visit us periodically for progress checks. Unlike traditional braces, Brava uses independent movers, which can result in fewer and shorter appointments.
Once you finish treatment, you will need to wear a retainer to maintain your results.
Do Brava Lingual Braces Cost More than Traditional Braces?
Brava hidden lingual braces often have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional braces. This is due to the advanced technology and customization involved in designing and fabricating each set of brackets to fit the unique contours of your teeth.
While the initial expense may be greater, Brava offers benefits such as fewer office visits and a more discreet appearance, which appeal to those seeking convenience and aesthetics. Our team can help you decide if Brava is a worthwhile investment for your unique circumstances.
Does Brava Come with Any Food Restrictions?
Dietary guidelines for Brava braces are similar to what you would expect with traditional metal braces. For example, you should avoid hard, sticky, and extremely chewy foods that might damage one of your brackets or pull them off your teeth. It is also a good idea to limit your intake of sugary items, since you do not want excessive plaque to accumulate around your braces.
Our team will give you detailed dietary guidelines when you get started with treatment. Although you may have to temporarily abstain from certain treats, the results of a straighter and healthier smile will be well worth any inconvenience you experience along the way.
Will Brava Hidden Treatment by Brius Affect the Way I Speak?
When you first receive Brava hidden lingual braces, you may notice some temporary changes in your speech. Because the braces are attached to the back of your teeth, your tongue may need time to adapt to the new surface. Mild lisping or changes in pronunciation are common at the beginning of treatment.
Most patients find that their speech returns to normal within a few days to a couple of weeks as they adjust to the braces. Practicing speaking, reading aloud, and staying hydrated can help with the adaptation process. Our team is available to support you if you have concerns or need tips to accelerate your adjustment.
What Should I Know About Adjusting to Brava Hidden Braces?
Adjusting to Brava hidden lingual braces typically takes a short period. You may experience some initial discomfort or sensitivity as your tongue and mouth get used to the braces. We recommend using orthodontic wax and rinsing with warm salt water to alleviate soreness during the first few days.
Most of our patients report that they become comfortable with Brava braces within one to two weeks. Staying consistent with oral hygiene and following our care instructions will help you adapt quickly. If you have any questions or experience significant discomfort, we are here to provide guidance and reassurance throughout your orthodontic journey.
