Invisible Braces - The secret of your smile

More and more people are seeking orthodontic treatment. Most adults would prefer to be able to have orthodontic treatment without any aesthetic impairment and hence want to fulfill there treatment goals with an appliance that is invisible. The increase in awareness of INVISALIGN which is a series of clear aligners to straighten the teeth, has caused a growing demand in this area of orthodontics. Invisalign is more limited in the types of cases that it can treat successfully so a lingual appliance was designed, which is placed on the inside of the teeth, which works like a conventional brace, so that you can get full control and movement of the teeth, but it cannot be seen. The appliance is called INCOGNITO and is just that. It is so discreet that no one will know you are wearing braces.

There is also a demand for invisible orthodontic treatment amongst younger patients. Many teenagers now realize that braces which do not show are an option and they prefer them. With both adults and teens asking for this type of brace, it is important to use a fixed appliance system that delivers both high patient satisfaction and clinically excellent results.

Lingual braces are completely invisible form the outside. There is no aesthetic impairment. Braces on the outside even if they are tooth coloured still show and this is why many patients avoid fixed appliance therapy. INCOGNITO is a bespoke appliance as everybody's occlusion is different. The appliance is custom made for you, so that each bracket and wire is made only to fit your teeth. Achieving an ideal occlusion for an adult patient is extremely difficult as often the natural teeth do not meet ideally, possibly due to damaged, extracted, missing or heavily restored teeth. High quality professional laboratory processes take this fact into account by the creation of an individual target set up. This is used as a basis for designing and optimizing the appliance.

Lingual treatment is a great option for many adults and teenage patients and patients over sixty. Appliance customization removes many of the clinical difficulties associated with traditional lingual treatment. The appliance design is geared toward comfort and clinical efficiency, which ensures a positive patient experience.
