Frequently Asked QuestionsIncognitoTM Braces
Who can wear Incognito™ braces?
Incognito™ braces are suitable for all age groups, children, adolescents and adults who want to correct their tooth position. Your orthodontist will be glad to provide you with more information. In most cases people who do not want the braces to be visible for professional or aesthetic reason opt for Incognito™ braces.
What do the braces look like?
Our braces have a unique design and fit. The bracket bases are contoured to hug the lingual (tongue-side) surfaces of your teeth for optimal comfort, fit and performance. They have a very low profile so they are less likely to interfere with your speech. Our special custom made archwires are precisely programmed with your unique prescription to ensure efficient, effective tooth movement.
What makes the Incognito™ system so different?
The Incognito™ appliances are 100% customised to deliver specific results for each patient. Your doctor determines your prescription and then your braces are custom made just for you. We use the latest CAD/CAM, rapid prototyping and robotic technologies to fabricate your braces with your unique prescription built in.
How long does it take to finish treatment with the Incognito™ system?
Treatment time varies per patient and case type. Due to the advanced technology in the customised brackets, precise bracket placement and precision bent wires, your teeth will move in the most efficient manner possible.
Will my speech be affected?
As with traditional braces, every person reacts differently. However, most patients do not experience a speech impediment. Those patients who do experience a minor speech impediment during the first couple of weeks find that this improves with each passing day. Your orthodontist can also provide you with speech exercises.
Will it be painful?
For the first two weeks after your braces are put on, your tongue, lips and teeth may be sore, just as they would be with traditional braces. You will be given instructions from your orthodontist as to how to care for and adjust to your new braces.
How much will it cost?
This will depend on your individual treatment needs and length of treatment required. Please speak to your local orthodontist to arrange a consultation where this will be discussed.
