Brava by BRIUS
Brava by BRIUS is a revolutionary orthodontic system that delivers truly invisible tooth movement using custom lingual braces bonded behind your teeth. Unlike traditional braces that sit on the front of your teeth, Brava brackets are completely hidden from view – giving you the confidence to smile throughout your entire treatment. At BP Smiles Orthodontics in Queens, NY, Dr. Boris Pinhasov, a Board-Certified orthodontist and ABO Diplomate, uses Brava to help patients achieve straighter teeth without anyone knowing they are in treatment. Each Brava bracket is individually designed using advanced 3D technology and robotically placed for maximum precision.
How Brava Works
Brava takes a fundamentally different approach to moving teeth. Traditional braces use a single archwire that connects all brackets together, forcing teeth to move as a group. Brava eliminates the archwire entirely. Instead, each tooth receives its own independent bracket with a built-in movement mechanism. This means every tooth moves simultaneously yet independently, which often results in shorter overall treatment times. Many patients complete their Brava treatment in 12 months or less – significantly faster than conventional braces or Invisalign for comparable cases.
The treatment begins with Dr. Pinhasov taking detailed digital scans of your teeth. These scans are used to create a customized treatment plan with robotically manufactured brackets designed specifically for your dental anatomy. Because each bracket is precision-engineered, the system delivers highly controlled and predictable tooth movement from day one.
Benefits of Brava Over Other Options
Brava offers several distinct advantages that set it apart from both traditional braces and clear aligner therapy. Because the brackets are placed on the tongue side of your teeth, they are completely invisible when you smile or speak. This makes Brava an excellent choice for professionals, public speakers, and anyone who wants effective orthodontic treatment without the visible appearance of braces.
Unlike Invisalign, there are no removable trays to keep track of, no risk of losing aligners, and no concern about forgetting to wear them for the required hours each day. Brava works around the clock because the brackets are always in place. Additionally, Brava typically requires fewer office visits than traditional braces since there are no wires to tighten or adjust. This means less time away from work or school for appointments.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Brava?
Brava is suitable for a wide range of orthodontic cases, from mild crowding and spacing issues to more complex bite corrections. It is especially popular among adult patients who want an invisible treatment option that does not rely on patient compliance the way removable aligners do. Teens who are self-conscious about wearing visible braces also benefit from the hidden design of Brava brackets.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Pinhasov will evaluate your teeth, jaw alignment, and overall oral health to determine whether Brava is the right treatment for your specific needs. His experience as Program Director at Maimonides Medical Center and his advanced training in lingual orthodontics ensure that each Brava case is planned and managed with expert precision.
