Lingual (Incognito™) Braces

What Are They?

The ULTIMATE discreet option – Lingual Braces are like regular metal braces only they are fitted on the inside of the teeth. This makes them totally hidden, and it uses the same technology of effective traditional brackets and wires.

They use custom-made and custom-fitted brackets, which are smaller than those used in conventional braces.

The great thing about lingual braces, apart from being completely hidden of course, is the fact that unlike other discreet options like Invisalign, they can be used to treat more severe cases as well.

Not all orthodontic clinics have the required extra training, experience and specialist expertise to offer lingual braces, and to achieve the desired results with them for their patients. At The Kensington Orthodontic Clinic and Orthosmile Hounslow, we have just that.

Pros of Lingual Braces

✓ Completely and Utterly Invisible – THE most discreet option, lingual braces are placed on the inside of the teeth, totally hidden from view.

✓ Ultra Effective – Unlike other ‘invisible’ options like Invisalign, they have much less limitations and can handle more severe and difficult cases, as well as jaw misalignments.

They are great for fixing all kinds of issues, like:    ✓Gaps       ✓Crowding     ✓Crooked Teeth
✓Asymmetry,
Individual Teeth that are    ✓Too Short,     ✓Too Long and ✓Rotated
AND also: ✓Overbites,   ✓Under-bites,    ✓Open-bites,   ✓Cross-bites  and  ✓Overjets

✓ No Lip and Cheek Irritation – Unlike conventional braces, they don’t rub against the inside of your cheeks or lips because they are placed on the inside of the teeth.

✓ Suitable for Athletes and Occasionally Even Musicians – being placed on the inside stops them from causing any injury or harm in contact sports, and also often has less of an impact on playing wind instruments.

✓ Effortless and Automatic for Patients – With removable brace systems like Invisalign or Inman Aligner, treatment time can be delayed drastically due to the hassle of having to remember to put them back on multiple times a day (after brushing, eating, snacking, drinking…etc.). With fixed brace systems like Lingual braces, there is less hassle and it’s constantly working for you to align your teeth and create a beautiful smile.
