Your speech is also less affected than with other brace types.<\/p>\n<p>If you are particularly self-conscious about your smile, 2D braces and indeed, lingual braces are a good choice for you. Your smile will look unaltered whilst you go through treatment, as no-one will be able to see that you are fitted with a brace. We have found that this type of brace is a realistic alternative to other brace types for many of our patients.<\/p>\n<h3>A little more about 2D braces\u2026<\/h3>\n<div class=\"custom_link_left\">\n<ul>\n<li>2D braces can treat minor to moderate cases of crowding and spacing with control and zero compliance issues.<\/li>\n<li>As the bracket system is smaller than some custom made lingual braces, 2D braces are more comfortable.<\/li>\n<li>Brackets have reduced thickness, contributing to the comfort element of the brace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>As with any lingual braces, 2D braces require an initial consultation, so that the correct course of treatment can be ascertained. if you like the idea of a discrete brace option and are sutiable, we can fit your brace as soon as you like so you can start the journey to a straighter smile with no delays.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to know more about the orthodontic treatment options we offer here at Park Lane,
