Which brace

The brackets for Incognito braces are custom made using computer technology, being made specifically for your teeth for maximum comfort. Incognito braces are one of the most aesthetic of orthodontic treatments and allow you to continue in your daily life with barely anyone knowing you are having treatment. This is how many celebrities have achieved straighter teeth without visible braces, such as Mylene Klass and Kate Middleton was rumoured to have Incognito too.

Which brace is best? Brackets are custom-made to hug onto the inside lingual surface of your teeth, making the brace virtually invisible. As well as being our most discreet brace, lingual braces offer all the benefits and precision of a fixed brace , ensuring you get the best possible results from your treatment.

Low-profile brackets also help to make it one of the most comfortable braces around. Treatment can take up to two years, but most of our patients begin to notice an improvement in just a few months.

Simple cases such as mild crowding can sometimes be completed within just a few months. At Total Orthodontics, we use trusted brands such as Incongito and eBrace to provide our lingual brace systems.

No matter which type of braces you go with, be sure to pay extra attention to your oral hygiene. Braces with wires and brackets leave teeth more vulnerable to trapped plaque and food debris, which may cause staining and possibly tooth decay. An electric toothbrush can help— the Oral-B iO features micro-vibrating bristles on a dentist-inspired round brush head to better clean tooth-by-tooth. Another option to help keep teeth and gums clean and healthy while wearing braces is an electric toothbrush quipped with specialized brush heads like Oral-B Power Tip Brush Heads which can help remove more plaque from in-between teeth and tight spaces such as brackets and wires.

Oral-B Super Floss is uniquely designed to clean braces, bridges, and gaps between teeth.
