Designed to deliver precision, comfort, and aesthetics, Lingualmatrix is redefining how patients experience orthodontic care today.
Practicing at B.Braced Dental Clinic, Dr. Shetty is an award-winning Orthodontist in Mumbai, recognized for his expertise in Digital Orthodontics, Lingual Orthodontics, Aligners, and Dentofacial Orthopaedics.

“Lingualmatrix is the product of years of clinical insight and a desire to offer Indian patients access to the best global technologies,” says Dr. Shetty. “It is a CAD/CAM-based customized 3D lingual bracket system that ensures precise tooth movement with unmatched patient comfort. Unlike conventional braces, Lingualmatrix is fully customized and hidden behind the teeth — offering an aesthetic and effective solution for patients who want results without visible brackets.”
Lingual orthodontics involves placing brackets on the back (lingual side) of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside. With Lingualmatrix, Dr. Shetty has brought together advanced digital planning and 3D printing to produce brackets that fit each patient’s anatomy perfectly. This enhances efficiency, reduces treatment time, and significantly improves the overall patient experience.
“Customization is key in modern orthodontics,” Dr. Shetty explains. “Every smile is unique, and so should be the treatment plan. With Lingualmatrix, we digitally plan each case, fabricate fully customized brackets and archwires, and monitor progress through digital systems. This ensures optimal movement and better clinical outcomes.”
As more adults seek orthodontic treatment, demand for aesthetic, discreet options is rising. Lingualmatrix offers an excellent alternative for professionals, media personalities, and anyone who prefers to keep their orthodontic journey private. Patients benefit from a nearly invisible solution without sacrificing treatment quality.
In addition to inventing Lingualmatrix, Dr. Shetty is also the cofounder of Smilealign 3D Aligners — another breakthrough in digital orthodontics — and cofounded toothsi, India’s largest consumer-facing aligner company. His passion for innovation is matched by a deep commitment to education. He regularly conducts hands-on training programs and is a sought-after speaker at global events, including British Lingual Orthodontic Conference (BLOS), World Orthodontic Conference (AEEDC Dubai), European Society of Lingual Orthodontics, and more.
“At B.Braced Dental Clinic, we believe in delivering evidence-based, technology-driven care,” says Dr. Shetty. “Our practice philosophy is built on offering the most advanced solutions — from lingual braces to aligners and micro-implants — while maintaining a patient-centric approach.”
A recent success story at B.Braced Dental Clinic highlights the power of digital orthodontics. A 34-year-old professional seeking orthodontic correction without visible braces was treated using Lingualmatrix. “The experience was seamless — from digital scans to receiving my customized brackets,” shares the patient. “No one could tell I was undergoing treatment. The best part was how comfortable and efficient the process was.”
Dr. Shetty notes that technologies like Lingualmatrix are transforming the orthodontic experience for both patients and clinicians. “With CAD/CAM precision, we can plan movements more accurately, predict treatment timelines, and enhance overall results. This is the future of orthodontics.”
An alumnus of India’s premier dental institutions, Dr. Shetty serves as Managing Trustee & Director at Vasantdada Patil Dental College & Hospital and is a former Vice President of the Indian Orthodontic Society. His professional affiliations include memberships in the European Society of Lingual Orthodontics (ESLO), World Society of Lingual Orthodontics (WSLO), and Lingual Orthodontic Society (India), which he helped found and lead as past president.
In addition to receiving awards in France and Korea for his work in lingual orthodontics, Dr. Shetty has published numerous articles in national and international journals, further contributing to the advancement of the field.
