One of the main reasons patients are hesitant to undergo orthodontic treatment is because they do not want others to know they are wearing braces. That’s where Incognito braces come in. They are a new kind of braces designed for teens and adults and placed behind your teeth. Since they are placed behind your teeth, nobody will know you’re wearing braces unless you let them know.

They work like traditional braces but are far more discreet. If you are a good candidate for traditional braces, Incognito braces are likely a good option for you. The brackets of Incognito braces are shaped in a way that hug the surfaces on the back of your teeth. They ensure maximum comfort and allow for optimal teeth movement.

If you undergo this type of orthodontic treatments, you can expect your orthodontist to begin by taking precise impressions of your teeth. Once your impressions are sent to the Incognito Lab, your customized braces will be produced. Six weeks or so after your impressions have been taken, your orthodontist will be ready to apply your new braces. You’ll visit the orthodontist periodically so that progress can be monitored.

Since every patient’s mouth is different, the time you’ll need to wear Incognito braces will likely differ from the time your friend may need to wear them. Your orthodontist will provide you with an accurate timeline so that you know when you can expect to complete treatment.
