Incognito lingual braces are fixed braces, so how can they be worn secretly? The secret to their discreet wear is the fact that not only are the brackets smaller and wiring thinner, the brackets are actually placed on the back of the teeth. Traditional fixed braces, even when tooth coloured may be visible close up, but Incognito lingual braces are so small and hidden, you can wear them in confidence that no one will know you are having orthodontic treatment.

Benefits of Incognito lingual braces

You may think that as the braces are applied to the back of the teeth this may cause pain and discomfort to the tongue. Whilst there is a short period of getting used to the brackets and wiring, the brackets are so fine that they are much more comfortable than a more bulky traditional fixed brace.

Depending on the issues at hand, treatment time can vary from one to two years, but again it depends on each patients needs.
