lingual braces are the only truly invisible option for adults.

Porth (Personalized Orthodontics) is a modern orthodontic clinic in Sammamish Village providing exceptional care to patients of all ages. Dr. Rooz Khosravi is a board certified orthodontics specialist & an assistant professor at the University of Washington. We fabricate Porth aligners in our clinic using the most advanced technology and materials.

Braces placed behind the teeth offer you the option of straightening your teeth behind the curtain, while eliminating the challenges that come with clear aligners.


The lingual braces treatment option combines the best outcome, unparalleled experience, and use the latest technology for teens and adults.

It is a common, yet inaccurate, idea that lingual braces hurt more than other appliances because they are positioned close to the tongue. All orthodontic appliances require an
adjustment phase. Getting used to lingual braces takes about 3-4 weeks. At Porth, we provide specific instructions and tools on how to manage this adjustment phase.

Perhaps a little. Lingual braces affect speech similarly to how other appliances (such as Invisalign) do. The majority of patients find that their speech adjusts quickly, during those first 3-4 weeks, along with generally getting used to having braces.

The cost of lingual braces is higher from conventional braces or clear aligners. The lingual braces are the ultimate cosmetic approach to high quality orthodontic care rendered by a small group of orthodontics specialists. Generally speaking, the cost of treatment at Porth depends on the complexity of treatment and the patientโ€™s goals for their treatment.

No, it is actually easier than with conventional braces! This is because you have easier access to your teeth. Additionally lingual braces completely prevent you from having white legions on the visible surfaces of your teeth, which is something that can happen with traditional braces.
