Lingual Braces in Sevenoaks
Lingual braces are a discreet orthodontic treatment where the brackets and wires are fitted to the back surfaces of the teeth rather than the front. This makes them much less noticeable when you smile or speak.
Incognito lingual braces are a branded type of customised lingual orthodontic appliance that can be considered for suitable patients who want their braces to remain discreet during treatment.
At Sevenoaks Dental & Implant Centre, lingual braces can be discussed as part of an individual teeth straightening consultation for patients in Sevenoaks and the surrounding area.
Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and bite before recommending whether lingual braces are appropriate for your orthodontic needs.
What Are Lingual Braces?
Lingual braces are fixed orthodontic appliances that are attached to the back surfaces of the teeth.
Because the brackets and wires are positioned on the tongue-facing side of the teeth, they are much less visible than conventional braces fitted to the front.
Lingual orthodontics can be used for selected orthodontic cases, although the suitability of treatment depends on the position of your teeth and the movements required.
What Are Incognito Lingual Braces?
Incognito is a branded lingual orthodontic system designed for braces that are fitted behind the teeth.
The brackets and wires are designed specifically for the individual treatment plan rather than using a standard position on the front of the teeth.
Incognito lingual braces can provide a discreet alternative to conventional fixed braces for suitable patients.
What are the benefits of lingual braces?
Lingual braces are custom-created for your teeth – The Incognito system creates braces specifically to fit each and every patient’s tooth.
Lingual braces are practically invisible to others – As they sit out of view on the tongue side of the teeth, lingual braces are virtually invisible.
Lingual braces give confidence-boosting results – Misaligned teeth or bite issues can be a serious source of self-consciousness and if left untreated, may necessitate more complex treatment later on.
