Lingual Care

Lingualcare is a medical technology company that revolutionized the orthodontics industry through the development of the iBraces system, a fully customized lingual orthodontic solution. The company utilizes advanced CAD/CAM, digital scanning, and robotic technology to design and manufacture brackets and wires that are placed on the back of the teeth, making them completely invisible to others. Unlike traditional lingual braces, Lingualcare's platform provides a bespoke fit for each patient, which enhances clinical efficiency and patient comfort. The company was acquired by 3M in 2007 and its technology was subsequently integrated into the 3M Unitek portfolio under the brand name Incognito. This acquisition allowed for the global scaling of customized lingual appliance therapy.
