BRIUS® Invisible Braces
Simultaneous, independent tooth movement placed strictly behind your teeth. Achieve a perfectly aligned smile in as little as 6 to 12 months with zero visible appliances.
The short answer
BRIUS® straightens teeth from behind — with independent movers bonded to the back of each tooth, so nothing shows when you smile. Every tooth moves on its own and at the same time, which is how treatment finishes in as little as 6 to 12 months. It's the discreet option for adults who want real orthodontics without anything visible.
Every tooth moves independently and simultaneously.
BRIUS is an entirely new category of orthodontic treatment. Traditional braces move teeth sequentially using a single continuous archwire. BRIUS uses patented, flexible nickel-titanium arms bonded behind the teeth to move every tooth along its own custom pathway simultaneously, drastically reducing overall treatment time.
How BRIUS® Works
Every BRIUS® appliance starts with a simple idea: instead of linking all of your teeth together with one continuous wire, give each tooth its own independent mover. During digital planning, a flexible nickel-titanium arm is programmed for every tooth and shaped to guide that tooth — and only that tooth — toward its ideal final position.
Nickel-titanium is a shape-memory alloy: once programmed, each arm constantly tries to return to its target shape. That delivers light, continuous force to every tooth at the same time, so each tooth travels its own shortest path simultaneously rather than waiting its turn. Because the arms are pre-programmed, there is nothing to tighten at your appointments — the system works the way it was designed to, visit after visit.
And because the entire appliance is bonded behind your teeth, that gentle force is applied around the clock. Your progress never depends on remembering to wear trays or elastics — treatment continues while you work, sleep, and go about your day in Tribeca and across New York City.
Independent Movers
One pre-programmed arm per tooth. No shared wire means no tooth waits for another to finish moving.
Shape-Memory Alloy
Flexible nickel-titanium arms return to their programmed shape, guiding each tooth along its custom pathway.
Continuous Gentle Force
Light, uninterrupted pressure replaces the cycle of tightening appointments used by traditional braces.

Who Is a Good Candidate
BRIUS® was designed for people who want orthodontic results without the look — or the lifestyle compromises — of traditional treatment. During your consultation at our Tribeca studio, digital records and an orthodontic evaluation determine whether independent lingual movement is the right approach for your bite. In general, these patients tend to be excellent candidates:
Adults Who Want True Invisibility
Professionals, performers, and anyone regularly on camera across NYC — BRIUS® sits entirely behind the teeth, with no visible brackets and no aligner attachments on the front.
Teens Who'd Rather Skip the Trays
Nothing to remove at lunch, nothing to lose at school. The fixed appliance works 24/7, making it a strong fit for busy teens in Lower Manhattan.
Former Aligner Patients
If remembering 20–22 hours of daily wear proved difficult, a fixed lingual system removes patient compliance from the equation entirely.
Busy Schedules, Fewer Visits
With no tightening appointments and autonomous progress between check-ins, BRIUS® suits professionals who can't afford frequent trips to the orthodontist.
Not every bite is ideal for lingual treatment — complex movements sometimes call for a different approach. That's exactly what the consultation is for: honest guidance on the option most likely to give you the result you want.
What Is the BRIUS® Treatment Journey Like?
Here's what the process feels like from the patient's side — from your first visit to our Tribeca studio through the day your new smile is revealed.
Consultation & Evaluation
We discuss your goals, examine your bite, and review your dental health to confirm that BRIUS® is a good fit. If it is, we capture the digital records that will drive your entire treatment plan.
Digital Design
Your orthodontist maps an independent trajectory for every tooth, and your custom nickel-titanium arms are engineered to those exact pathways — no one-size-fits-all appliance.
Bonding Day
The complete appliance is bonded behind your teeth in a single visit. Most patients notice the new feeling on their tongue for a few days while speech and eating adjust — then it fades into the background.
Autonomous Progress
Between brief monitoring visits, the pre-programmed arms keep working on their own — no tightening appointments, no tray changes, no compliance tracking. You simply watch your smile change.
Finishing & Retention
When your teeth reach their planned positions, the appliance is removed and a retainer plan keeps everything in place. Like any orthodontic result, your new alignment needs retention to last.

Braces That Don't Ask for Your Discipline
Here's the uncomfortable truth about clear aligners: they work beautifully — when they're in your mouth. The 20 to 22 hours of daily wear, the removal for every meal and every coffee, the tray left in its case during a long work dinner. Every missed hour is a small delay, and small delays add up. We see it constantly: motivated adults who started aligners with the best intentions and stalled partway through. It's not a character flaw. It's life.
BRIUS exists for exactly those patients. The appliance is bonded behind your teeth and works around the clock — while you work, sleep, eat, and forget it's there. There is nothing to remember, nothing to remove, nothing to lose at a restaurant. The pre-programmed nickel-titanium arms keep moving every tooth along its own path, with no tightening appointments to fit around your calendar. Your progress never depends on your discipline, because the system doesn't ask for any.
That's also why treatment finishes in 6 to 12 months for many cases: every tooth moves simultaneously instead of waiting its turn, and nothing ever stalls. If you've tried aligners and quit, or if you know yourself well enough to skip the experiment — BRIUS is the discreet option that meets you where you are. No judgment about the trays in your drawer. Just a consultation, a digital plan, and teeth that straighten while you get on with your life.
“Invisalign doesn't work as well as braces — it works better. But there is a caveat: it depends on patient compliance. Braces are under the doctor's control the whole time; the patient just needs to brush and show up to appointments. Invisalign requires discipline — putting it on and off, wearing it all the time except for eating and brushing. It takes patient compliance, but it definitely works wonders.”
— Dr. Nina Izhaky, Tribeca Dental Studio
BRIUS® in Tribeca: Frequently Asked Questions
What makes BRIUS® different from Invisalign®?
Invisalign® relies on removable trays you must wear 20–22 hours a day and change every week or two — your progress depends on your discipline. BRIUS® is fixed behind your teeth and works continuously on its own, so treatment can't stall because a tray was left in its case. It also requires no visible attachments on the front of your teeth.
Will anyone be able to tell I'm wearing braces?
In everyday situations, no. The entire appliance is bonded to the back surfaces of your teeth, so nothing shows when you smile, talk, or appear on camera. Only someone looking closely inside your mouth would notice it.
Does BRIUS® treatment hurt?
Orthodontic movement always involves some pressure, and you may feel mild soreness for a day or two after placement. The difference is how force is delivered: instead of periodic tightening appointments, BRIUS® uses light, continuous force — most patients find the experience gentler than traditional braces.
How long does treatment with BRIUS® take?
Many cases finish in 6 to 12 months, because every tooth moves at the same time instead of sequentially. Your exact timeline depends on the complexity of your bite — your orthodontist will map it out during your consultation.
Will BRIUS® affect my speech or eating?
Any appliance placed behind the teeth takes a short adjustment period — most people adapt their speech within a few days to a couple of weeks. Because there is nothing to remove, you simply eat normally and brush as usual; the front surfaces of your teeth stay completely clear for easy cleaning.
Am I too old for BRIUS®?
Probably not. BRIUS® was designed with busy adults in mind, and healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age. What matters is the health of your teeth and gums — your orthodontic evaluation will confirm whether your mouth is ready for treatment.
How often will I need to visit the office during treatment?
Less often than with traditional braces. Because the arms are pre-programmed and work autonomously, there are no tightening appointments — you come in for brief monitoring visits so your orthodontist can track progress. It's a practical option for busy professionals across Tribeca, the Financial District, and greater NYC.
I tried Invisalign and stopped wearing the trays — is BRIUS a better fit for me?
Very possibly. BRIUS was designed for exactly this situation: because the appliance is fixed behind your teeth, it works 24/7 on its own. Treatment can't stall because a tray was left in its case — your progress doesn't depend on your discipline at all.
Can BRIUS correct my bite, or does it only straighten the front teeth?
Every tooth gets its own pre-programmed mover, so treatment addresses your full bite — not just the visible front teeth. That said, not every bite is ideal for lingual treatment; your orthodontic evaluation and digital records will confirm whether BRIUS is the right approach for you.
Will people notice BRIUS when I talk or laugh?
In everyday situations, no. The entire appliance is bonded to the back surfaces of your teeth, so nothing shows when you smile, talk, or laugh. Your tongue will notice it for the first few days while you adjust — other people won't.
