My Orthodontist Says, Lingual Braces Are Only Good for Aligning the Teeth, Is This True?

napimlan
My front teeth are tilted inward. And both of my cuspids are tilted outward. However, my orthodontist says that, lingual braces are only good for aligning the teeth, and claims my teeth are not tilted inward. And he said he will fix my cuspids with a retainer. Is he trying to fool me? I found out that he doesn't have much experience with lingual braces.
