Lingual braces: your secret is safe with us
lingual braces
Lingual braces are one of the more discreet treatment options available for orthodontic patients. This is because the wires and brackets of lingual braces are attached to the back surface of your teeth.
This gives the advantage of complex tooth movement with total invisibility. Here at Malmin orthodontics we use the Incognito system™.
confidence you see… braces you don’t see
The Incognito™ Lingual Bracket System is a new generation of braces for people of all ages. Because the braces are placed behind the teeth no one will ever know that you are wearing them unless YOU tell them.
They are created using state of the art technology and are completely customised to the shape of your teeth and to your dental situation. The advantages of Incognito™ braces are numerous. They not only offer discreet treatment but boost confidence during wear and patients can attend special occasions and events in the knowledge that they look good and their oral health is being improved.
Incognito Braces can be used to treat severe malocclusion disorders and are ideal for persons who may be at risk of metallic allergy. Treatment time ranges from nine to fifteen months and people of different ages and backgrounds may be treated with the Incognito™ system.
Incognito™ is an enhancement of traditional metal brace systems as it protects against oral irritation and speech impediment. It is a recommended lingual brace system because it preserves front tooth structure and eliminates the risk of dental decalcification.
We evaluate each patient’s unique oral dimensions to determine if Incognito™ is suitable. The braces are recommended based on diagnosis, from mild to severe orthodontic issues, and each person’s preferences. We use special silicone impressions embedded in wax to obtain each patient’s precise oral dimensions. Hi-tech 3D technology is used to scan and process the specifications, so that each individual bracket is custom-made for unique orthodontic treatment.
For simple cases involving just the front teeth we also offer Incognito™ Lite. With all the benefits of the Incognito™ hidden brace, it straightens just your front teeth, helping to create a confident smile in a matter of months.
