In order to create perfectly straight teeth, braces are often needed. The mere thought of braces can be off-putting, but technology has become so advanced that braces no longer have to involve large pieces of metal stuck to the front of your teeth. The incognito brace is an effective braces system that offers patients discreet treatment.

Incognito treatment

In order to be discreet, Incognito braces are fitted to the back of your teeth instead of the front. This allows them to do the same job as traditional braces but remain invisible to the public eye. Brackets that are custom-designed to fit your teeth are fitted to the back of each tooth and connected by wires. These wires are then routinely tightened to pull your teeth into the correct position. Treatment times can vary between individuals as it depends on the severity of your dental condition. You need to visit the orthodontist regularly in order to tighten the braces and this can cause some discomfort.

Advantages of Incognito braces

The major advantage of the Incognito brace system is that they are virtually invisible. Barely anyone will notice that you are wearing them. There is also less pain associated with theses braces because the brackets and wires are smaller and thinner. Depending on the wire used, they can be useful to treat people that have previously suffered with a nickel allergy and the treatment time is generally shorter than other braces, which means a quicker treatment time and less time spent at the dentist. Also, you are less likely to encounter speech impairments with the Incognito brace system. Contact the team at Harley Street Dental Studio in London for more information.
