In this blog we are going to discuss the three benefits that using Incognito braces can bring you. But what are Incognito braces?

 

Incognito are a type of lingual braces that fit to the inside surface of your teeth for a discreet method of straightening. This makes them a good option for patients who may not like the idea of having visible braces at an older age, due to confidence issues. The orthodontic brackets are made from a gold alloy that is less likely to cause nickel related allergies. The brackets are made specifically to create an exact fit around each tooth, making them an effective type of braces.
