There is a growing trend for adults having their teeth straightened, since the multitude of options gives them much more flexibility with faster results. A popular orthodontic option are lingual braces, or ‘hidden braces’, which allow adults to achieve a straighter, improved smile without it being noticeable. Here we’ll cover the benefits of Incognito™ lingual braces and why they're a brilliant option for adults who may be put off by traditional braces.
Although lingual braces work in the same way as traditional metal ones - they use brackets and wires to shift the teeth to their desired positions over time - this advanced treatment is mounted on the back surfaces of the teeth. This means that they are completely hidden from sight, making them unnoticeable to others. Lingual braces would be worthwhile for anyone who would rather not have their treatment on display, but still wants maximum results.
Incognito™ lingual braces are our chosen brand because they use advanced technology and materials to custom make each wearer’s appliance. All brackets are made from gold and are tailor made to suit each contour of your individual teeth. Incognito™ are able to offer people an exact fit, making the braces much more comfortable to wear than other teeth straightening treatments.
Unlike invisible removable braces, lingual braces constantly apply pressure to the teeth to achieve a straighter alignment efficiently. Incognito™ braces take all the benefits and predictable results that traditional braces are proven to provide, however they allow adults to smile without worrying about their appearance throughout their treatment.
Though other invisible braces can discreetly straighten teeth and help people attain a more attractive smile, Incognito™ braces can be used to treat a wider variety of orthodontic problems. These lingual braces would be better suited to those with more moderate to severe malocclusions, as many of the other invisible treatments only focus on straightening the front teeth.

Lingual braces are also less likely than traditional braces to lead to problems such as decalcification and decay.
