If you haven’t heard about Incognito yet, then don’t worry because we at Weybridge Orthodontics are about to fill you in on all you need to know about this cool orthodontic system. Incognito is the most invisible dental aligning device out there, even more so than clear aligners! Here’s all you need to know about this magical teeth-straightening system. 
What Is Incognito Weybridge?
Incognito is a type of brace that sits on the inner side of your teeth. Just like traditional braces, Incognito uses a plate-and-wire system; the plates are fixed behind your teeth and the wire threads through them. Over several months, the wires will be tightened to move your teeth into a new position.
Why Are These Braces So Cool?
Braces have been on quite the journey over the last hundred years, and the days of them being items we feared are very much gone. Braces now come in all sorts of shapes and sizes that are far more user-friendly and adaptable to our lifestyles.
Over the last 15 years or so, Invisalign has really taken off to new heights and forged the way for other types of braces to be designed, which are equally less visible and more patient-friendly. We at Weybridge Orthodontics absolutely love Invisalign and still use it frequently in the practice for patients wanting a simple and effective way of straightening their teeth. However, they are still slightly visible, and though they are much subtler than traditional braces, you can still tell when someone is wearing them. With Incognito Weybridge, the dental alignment experience becomes completely invisible. Because the braces can be fixed behind your teeth, absolutely nothing will be visible from the front; you can undergo treatment, and no one will ever know… well, apart from when they notice your teeth straightening up.
Who Can Incognito Help?
There’s no hard and fast rule with Incognito Weybridge braces; anyone can use them as long as their teeth and gums are healthy. Incognito braces do come in at the more pricey end of things; however, there are excellent payment plans and interest-free options available.
How Long Do They Take?
Treatment time very much depends on the individual case; some people may well get the results they’re after in as little as six months, while others with more complex cases could be looking at 18 to 24 months. What’s great though is that time becomes irrelevant when you can’t actually see the braces.
Will The Changes Last?
It’s so interesting when we look at the last results of orthodontic work, no matter which brace was used. With all treatments, you will be required to wear a retainer. At first, you would have to wear the retainer most of the time; this wear will then become less frequent, and eventually, you would only need to wear it at night. It’s so tempting to stop wearing retainers, but we can’t stress enough how easily and quickly teeth can begin to move back, especially when your wisdom teeth haven’t come through yet.
