What are the differences between labial and lingual orthodontics whether advantages or disadvantages

Q. Sorry for bothering dr rob my question is what are the differences between labial and lingual orthodontics whether advantages or disadvantages

A. Labial orthodontics are where the brackets and wires are on the outer face of the tooth. Its easier and cheaper. Lingual Orthodontics the brackets and wires are fixed to the inner surface of he teeth next to the tongue, its harder to speak & eat but you dont see as much of the appliance.
