Abstract

---

Lingual orthodontics is a relatively recent treatment option that differs from the well-known labial orthodontic therapy in several ways, the most notable of which is the location of the appliances. This opinion was bolstered by a recent systematic evaluation of six studies that examined the negative effects of lingual and labial orthodontic treatment. The current systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for reporting studies that evaluate health care interventions to the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines for writing observational studies, and the Cochrane Non- Randomized Studies Methods Group guidelines for reporting observational studies. The first search on the Internet generated 3734 results. 87 full-text articles were analyzed after reading titles, abstracts, and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. 16 papers qualified for inclusion in the review and descriptive synthesis from these. Lingual orthodontic treatment demonstrated promising outcomes in this systematic evaluation, particularly in achieving individual treatment objectives and reducing the danger of decalcifications on bonded tooth surfaces.

Keywords: Lingual orthodontics, systematic review, clinical success, orthodontists.
