Here at Weybridge Orthodontics we often get asked about the different types of braces available for patients looking to straighten their teeth. While traditional metal braces are still a popular option, more and more patients are turning to clear braces like Invisalign for a more discreet treatment. But what about braces such as Incognito Weybridge?
Incognito is a type of lingual brace, which is a close match to traditional braces in that they use brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into the desired position. However, unlike traditional methods, Incognito Weybridge are placed on the back of the teeth, rendering them almost invisible to others.
This makes them a great option for adults who may feel self-conscious about the appearance of what are known as traditional braces. They are also a preferred choice for professionals or people in the public eye who prefer to straighten their teeth without anyone else knowing.
The Incognito method
One of the great things about Incognito is that they are custom-made for each patient. This means that they are tailored to the individual’s specific needs and can provide a more precise treatment. They are generally also comfortable to wear and are likely to cause minimal discomfort.
The treatment process with Incognito Weybridge is similar to that of traditional methods, with regular check-up appointments to check progress and make any needed adjustments. The length of treatment will vary depending on the severity of the case and the individual’s compliance with the treatment plan.
The Incognito advantage: achieving a better bite
One of the great things about this treatment is that they can not only straighten teeth, but also achieve a much improved bite. Traditional braces are only able to move the teeth in a certain direction, but these almost invisible braces can access all the different parts of the teeth, including the bite. This means that they can correct bite related issues such as overbite, underbite, and crossbite.
Achieving a perfect bite is important not only for the aesthetics of your smile, but also for the overall health of your teeth and jaw. An improper bite can lead to uneven wear on the teeth, jaw pain, and even headaches. Incognito braces can help to correct these issues and provide a healthier, more functional bite.
A great fit for your lifestyle
While these braces are a great option for adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly, they are not suitable for everyone. It’s important to have a consultation with dental professionals like ourselves at Weybridge Orthodontics to determine if such braces are the right choice for you.
However, for those who are a good fit, Incognito can be a great way to achieve a straighter, healthier smile without anyone else knowing. They offer a convenient and comfortable treatment option that can fit easily into busy lifestyles.
Another advantage of these lingual braces is that they can provide faster treatment times than traditional types of braces. As mentioned they are custom-made for each patient and can access all aspects of the teeth, and because of this they can provide a more precise treatment. This means that the length of treatment can be shorter and patients can see results faster.
