Incognito braces, as their name suggests, are hidden from view while they correct teeth. While this is the primary benefit that draws many patients to this type of lingual braces, this treatment offers a variety of additional advantages. Here is more to know about Incognito braces from our Los Angeles orthodontist.

Key Benefits of Incognito Braces

Patients who want to avoid displaying shiny metal brackets every time they smile during treatment can ask our orthodontist about Incognito braces. In addition to their aesthetic benefits, Incognito braces also reduce discomfort and prevent abrasion to the cheeks because they are placed behind teeth instead of in front.

Candidates for Incognito Braces

Incognito braces are ideal for students, professionals, musicians and athletes. Although most patients who qualify for standard metal braces can also receive Incognito braces, individuals with major overbite or small teeth may not qualify for this particular option. Patients who are interested in this treatment should ask our orthodontist about their candidacy.

Incognito braces may require slightly longer treatment time than standard front-facing braces, but their benefits related to looks and comfort can make them a worthwhile option for many patients. A consultation with our expert in incognito braces in Los Angeles can be scheduled by patients who want to learn more about this treatment.
