Hi Katrina I had top linguals fitted 5 weeks ago. I'm having the bottom done in January. I took the week off work but I have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I haven't had any pain, just a bit of tenderness occasionally but nothing that requires painkillers. My speech was hilarious ...

Hi TanyaS I'm getting on OK with my linguals. The 3 things I was concerned about were pain, lisp and eating. I have to say I haven't had any pain yet, I had them fitted (uppers only) on Tuesday and was expecting to find uncomfortable on Wednesday/Thursday but so far they've been fine. Speech is a pr...

Hi, I had mine fitted today. Top only until I get used to it then I'll have the bottom fitted. I've put wax on the very back and then on one spot half way down where it was catching my tongue. I kinow what you mean about getting it off though - took my ages, I think part of the problem is that I can...

Hi Lynne It's really good to hear how people are getting on. I get my linguals on Tuesday - in 6 days!! I can't wait. I'm only getting either top or bottom at this fitting so I can get used to them and then I get the other half fitted. I'm planning on eating loads of really nice but bad food this we...

I'm getting my linguals fitted 3 weeks today. I'm only have upper fitted at this appointment (to give me time to get used to it) and my Ortho said it'll take around 1/2 hour.

Thanks for all your comments. I've made my decision and I'm going for linguals.

have my treatment plan and records appointment this week so hopefully won't be long until I'm started.

I haven't had mine fitted yet, I've had my consultation and I'm going for my records and treatment plan next (I'm very excited!) The ortho I've found in Birmingham seems great, explained loads to me (much more than the other I had a consultation at) and he's really into lingual braces. The prices ar...

Hi, I'm trying to find a good orthodontist. I'm going to my second place next week for a consultation but I really want to get on with this and get my brace fitted - it seems to have been dragging on for ages.

Anyone have experience of orthodontists in the Birmingham area?

Anyone know if there's anywhere on-line that you go to check for experience, reviews etc?

If you don't mind me asking, where did you go in london for the lingual quote? I'm getting linguals this October, and i've been quoted at the £8000 mark. I'm not in London, I'm in Birmingham. I went to James Hull which is a national chain, not sure if they have places in London but worth checking.

Hi, I'm trying to decide between linguals and ceramics. I've been quoted £3800 for upper and lower ceramics and £6100 for upper and lower incognito (or £5600 for other linguals) which seem like fair prices from what I've read on here. I'm fairly sure I want linguals, I just don't fancy 2 years of...
