Many people feel self-conscious wearing traditional, metal-bracket braces, especially adults. Fortunately, there is a new generation of orthodontics! They’re called Incognito braces and people of all ages can benefit from them!
Incognito braces are placed on the insides of the teeth so that they are completely invisible from the front. They’re created using state-of-the-art technology that fully customizes the braces to fit the shape of each patient’s teeth and dental situation.
- Incognito for Children
The younger the teeth, the more susceptible they are to movement during an orthodontic treatment. This means that kids and teens are the ideal candidates for braces, especially Incognito braces, which are applied to the inside of the teeth. With Incognito braces, no one will know your child is undergoing treatment, not even their peers. This way, their orthodontic treatment isn’t cemented in school portraits or family vacation photos. Plus, your child can develop perfectly straight teeth before he or she enters high school.
- Incognito for Adults
Adult teeth won’t move as quickly, but that’s no problem when you’re wearing Incognito braces. You can carry on with your high-profile career or other daily activities without anyone noticing your braces. If you work on T.V., in sales, or in another image-conscious environment, you won’t have to worry about your daily work routine, your speech, or your career being interrupted by your braces.

Getting braces may sound intimidating, but it’s actually an exciting event! Simply talk with your orthodontist and ask questions about every phase of your treatment so you know what to expect.
Temporary Discomfort
There is no getting around it—your teeth will be a little sore for the first 48 hours after your braces are applied to your teeth. However, you should be able to manage your pain with aspirin for the first 24 hours. Throughout the second and possibly third day, you should only experience slight discomfort when you eat hard foods.
A Full Mouth
Initially, you may feel as if your lips are sticking out. Keep in mind that braces don’t make you look any different! Most people will only notice your braces when you smile.
Oral Maintenance
As soon as you can eat normal foods again, you’ll notice that you have to brush and floss your teeth more. Food will get stuck in your braces any time you eat, so you may want to keep a tooth brush and floss with you at all times.
Mouth Sores
Some orthodontic patients suffer from small cuts and sores as they adjust to talking with their new braces. The brackets of your braces may rub against your gums and lips initially, but this will cease once you’ve adjusted to your new braces. You can avoid cuts by asking your orthodontist for wax to cover up the edges.
A New Smile
Throughout the initial stages of your orthodontic treatment, keep in mind that you’re developing a beautiful smile that will improve the way you look and your overall dental health!

Are you tired of living with a crooked smile? If you have put off calling your orthodontist because you don’t want to wear traditional braces, read on to learn about revolutionary Incognito braces that will change the way you think about orthodontic treatment:
Self-Conscious Teens and Adults
The main advantage of wearing Incognito braces is that they are placed on the inside, or lingual side, of the teeth so that the only way people will know you’re wearing them is if you tell them. Incognito braces can help give your teen the confidence he needs by invisibly correcting his smile. Your teen may be wearing braces on picture day at school, but no one will ever know!
If you’re an adult who works in the entertainment or sales industry, traditional braces might hinder your work. With Incognito braces, you can finally get the smile you desire without having to worry about distracting metal brackets on your teeth.
People Who Are Too Busy to Visit the Orthodontist
If you don’t have spare time to spend at the orthodontist undergoing wire tightening and other adjustments, consider Incognito braces because they require fewer adjustments than traditional braces. Orthodontists use advanced technology in conjunction with the Incognito system to help patients achieve a better-looking smile without having to make so many trips to the orthodontist.
People Who Want Dramatic Results in Less Time
Incognito braces are designed and applied using a highly specialized software program. The program maps out an efficient tooth adjustment path. This gives patients the opportunity to see what their smile will look like even before the braces have been applied. Furthermore, the efficiency of the software leads to a straighter smile in less time than other orthodontic methods.
