Treatments/Braces

InBrace Lingual Braces

Fixed braces behind the teeth. Nothing shows, and nothing to remember.

A custom-programmed Smartwire bonded behind the teeth, applying steady, gentle pressure. Nothing shows from the front, nothing to take out, and the wire curves along the gumline so you can floss normally.

How it works here

Four steps.

Braces and aligner models on the consultation table at SC Orthodontics
  1. 01

    Digital scan and records

    Taken at your free consultation, with the diagnosis and exact fee the same day.

  2. 02

    Your appliance is made

    A custom Smartwire is programmed for your arch, and Dr. Haykani approves every planned movement before it is fabricated.

  3. 03

    Bonded behind the teeth

    Placement is from the tongue side, usually a couple of hours in the chair. Speech and tongue comfort usually improve as you adapt over the first few weeks.

  4. 04

    Adjustments with Dr. Haykani

    Because the Smartwire is pre-programmed, progress checks with Dr. Haykani are scheduled around your treatment plan. She sees you at each one, and your initial retainers are included at the finish.

Who it suits

  • Adults whose work puts them in front of people
  • Patients who know they would not wear aligners consistently
  • Teens who would rather braces not show
  • Anyone who wants to floss normally right through treatment

How she decides

Dr. Haykani recommends InBrace where the bite and tooth shapes suit it beautifully, and points you to LightForce or ceramic brackets where those will give your case the better finish.

Common questions

InBrace Lingual Braces, answered.

Anything else, call or text. You will hear back the same day.

  • InBrace is quoted by case at your free consultation. As a guide, our fees run from $4,000 to $7,100 by case length, and 0% financing spreads the fee across treatment starting at $125 a month.

  • Request an appointment online, or call or text (661) 425-0559. New patients are usually seen within the week, with Sunday and evening appointments available.

  • Dr. Haykani herself, at every orthodontic visit, supported by a team who know your case. She plans the Smartwire, bonds the braces, and finishes the treatment.

  • Most cases run 12 to 24 months. Dr. Haykani gives you a timeline for your own case at the consultation, and if your treatment needs more time, that time is included in your fee.

  • GentleForce applies steady, mild pressure. Because the appliance sits behind the teeth, the adaptation is mostly along the tongue side. Mild soreness and tongue awareness are common at first and usually settle as you adjust.

  • You can eat most foods. Saving very hard and sticky favorites for after treatment keeps the wire working exactly as designed.

  • Yes, normally. The closed-loop Smartwire curves along the gumline, so floss passes between the teeth the way it always has, without special tools. Brush the tongue side of the teeth as carefully as the front, along the gumline where the wire sits.

  • There is a short adjustment while the tongue learns the new shape. Speech and tongue comfort usually improve as you adapt over the first few weeks.

  • Call or text and you will hear back the same day. We get you in quickly, and emergency visits like this are included in your fee.

  • Both. Teens like that nothing shows at school, adults like that nothing shows at work, and Dr. Haykani confirms the fit for your bite at the consultation.

  • A full examination and digital scans, included at no charge. Dr. Haykani reviews the images with you, and with your family if the patient is a teen, then sets out the plan, the timing, the exact fee, and your insurance estimate.
