Incognito Braces

Incognito is a type of Lingual Brace system and a modern alternative to traditional metal braces. Designed to fit behind the front teeth Incognito Lingual Braces offer a discreet, comfortable teeth straightening option for patients.

Specially made from non-allergenic gold the brackets and archwires are self-ligating and allow ease of movement and comfort during wear. In this regard, Incognito Lingual Braces differ from standard Lingual Brace systems that may contain nickel within the metals used to create the brackets and wires. Those with allergies in need of orthodontic care can benefit from the non-allergenic design of Incognito.

The Next Stage of Traditional Braces

Incognito is an enhancement of traditional metal brace systems as it protects against oral irritation and speech impediment. It is a recommended Lingual Brace system because it preserves front tooth structure and eliminates the risk of dental decalcification. A dentist will evaluate each individual’s unique oral dimensions to determine if Incognito is suitable.

The braces will be recommended based on the diagnosis, from mild to severe orthodontic issues, and each person’s preferences. The dentist will use special silicone impressions embedded in wax to obtain each person’s precise oral dimensions. Hi-tech 3D technology is used to scan and process the specifications, so that each individual bracket is custom-made for the person’s unique orthodontic treatment.

Once the Incognito Lingual Brace is created an appointment is set for the fitting. The dentist will bond the Incognito brackets to the back of the front teeth, accurately positioning them for effective spread of orthodontic pressure to align teeth. The procedure is not painful and the person will soon adjust to wearing the braces over a two week period.

The brace may take some time to get used to as the tongue needs to adjust to the positioning of the brackets and wires. Any unusual sensations will soon subside and individuals can then concentrate on experiencing the benefits of this modern brace system.

Benefits of Incognito

The advantages of Incognito Braces are numerous: They not only offer discreet treatment but boost confidence during wear and have little effect on one’s comfort. Patients can attend special occasions and events in the knowledge that they look good and their oral health is being improved.

Incognito Braces can be used to treat severe malocclusion disorders and are ideal for persons who may be at risk of metallic allergy. Treatment time ranges from nine to fifteen months and people of different ages and backgrounds may be treated with the Incognito system. However, alternatives may be recommended if more suitable.

Alternatives to Incognito

Alternatives to Incognito Lingual Braces include STb Social 6 and STb Lite Lingual Braces. Lingual Braces offer individuals with mild to severe orthodontic conditions modern brace treatment choices. Those with mild orthodontic conditions have a selection of near-invisible braces to choose from, such as Invisalign and Clearstep. These systems are custom-made and composed of clear aligners that fit over the dental arch like a mouth shield.

Although the treatment time is shorter or similar in some cases to traditional brace systems, Incognito is a dynamic improvement on the design and wear of metal braces. The improvement in comfort, movement, improved oral function and aesthetics make Incognito an ideal choice for many. The cost of the braces is generally higher than traditional braces systems because of these enhancements and the precious metal used.
