At Stellar Orthodontics, Dr. Stella Dong Wagner offers BRIUS lingual braces, an advanced orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth with precision and discretion. This innovative system provides a fully customized approach, allowing each tooth to move independently while keeping treatment hidden behind your smile.
What Are BRIUS Lingual Braces?
BRIUS is a modern orthodontic system that uses lingual braces placed on the back side of your teeth. Unlike traditional braces or aligners, BRIUS uses independent tooth movement, allowing each tooth to move on its own path for greater precision and efficiency.
Because the appliance is positioned behind your teeth, it remains virtually invisible during daily activities, making it an excellent option for patients who want discreet treatment.

Dr. Dong will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation based on your specific treatment goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Patients often have questions about BRIUS and how it compares to other treatment options. These answers can help you better understand what to expect.
Are BRIUS Braces Visible?
No. BRIUS braces are placed on the back side of your teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile, speak, or interact with others.
Are BRIUS Braces Comfortable?
BRIUS uses gentle, consistent forces to move teeth, which can improve comfort compared to traditional systems. As with any orthodontic appliance, there may be an adjustment period at the beginning.
How Do BRIUS Braces Compare to Invisalign?
Both options are discreet, but they function differently. BRIUS is a fixed appliance that does not require removal, while Invisalign uses removable trays. Dr. Dong will help determine which option best fits your needs.
Is It Harder to Clean My Teeth With BRIUS?
Because there are no visible wires across the front of your teeth, many patients find it easier to maintain oral hygiene. Proper brushing and flossing techniques will still be important during treatment.
Will BRIUS Work for Complex Cases?
Yes. BRIUS is designed to address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including more complex alignment and bite issues, thanks to its customized, precise design.
