Incognito Braces And Their Benefits

As the name suggests, incognito braces are discreet lingual braces fixed on the back surface of the teeth. They are usually made out of gold alloys and work in a slightly different way from the conventional metal braces. Better yet, they do not need elastic bands. Some patients report allergies to the metal braces in their mouths when they wear the traditional brackets. This is explained by the presence of nickel that is combined with the stainless steel. Gold is an inert compound, therefore the chances of reporting any adverse reactions to these braces are almost nil.

Sophisticated software is used to manufacture customized braces.A digitized photograph of your teeth is used as the reference to bend the brackets to perfection. The course of treatment is made easy, predictable and efficient using this same state of the art software. Another great benefit that goes with this is the comfort that the patient feels. The customization goes to the tips of the crowns of the teeth.

The bracket system consists of an arch-wire and brackets anchored on it. The brackets are termed as self-ligating. Their invisibility and the fact that they do not need bands for ligation are the best things about them. Couple that with the element of customization plus their positioning and you have with you a pair of clear, affordable and utterly comfortable teeth straightening device.

They are quite easy to handle, seeing that they are easier to brush than metal braces. They are flattened out, not raised like metal braces on the buccal surface, making them more comfortable. Your speech is not adversely affect and your tongue stays safe. These braces work just as effectively and as fast as standard braces. Being band free, you reduce the number of dental visits you have to make.

Incognito Lite is an option for those who wish to correct the alignment of a few front teeth, typically the first six or eight. They differ from the standard ones in the length of time they take to work. They can work in as little as six months. The minimal time expected for patients to stay with teeth straightening devices is the same six months. This means they can achieve perfection in the minimum time! In basic structure, the traditional and lingual braces are alike. Only the brackets and bands are modified.

Some orthodontists find that they are only suitable for minor orthodontic problems like slight overcrowding or crookedness, or to fix relapses after treatment.

Their invisibility and the fact that they are fixed makes them a better option than invisible aligners that may need to remove while eating. In a social setup, this may be interrupting.

You get the benefits of using standard metal braces to get straight teeth. Having straight teeth translates to better dental health-less plaque buildup and less chance of developing dental cavities. They can be worn by anyone, children, teens and adults alike and are customized, making them comfortable and effective.
