Invisible Braces

Invisible braces are a subtype of lingual braces; unlike conventional braces, they are connected to the back of your teeth, hence the name. Adult individuals who do not want their braces to be visible prefer this teeth-straightening alternative. Invisible braces are made to suit your mouth perfectly. Because their brackets are made of gold rather than stainless steel, they are more comfortable than typical metal braces.

Advantages of Invisible Braces

To offer you a straighter smile, they can correct crossbites, overbites, underbites, gaps, and overcrowding.
Because they are hidden below the teeth, they are practically entirely unnoticeable. As a result, they are a discrete technique for people to achieve straighter teeth.
Whatever discoloration caused by the brackets will also be invisible.
Invisible braces, unlike transparent aligners like Invisalign, are always in use since they are not removable. You won't have to remove them while you eat or drink.
If you participate in contact sports that need the use of a mouth guard, or if you play wind instruments, invisible braces can be preferred at the place of other forms of braces.
Because they are tailored to the particular shape of your teeth and your specific treatment requirements, discomfort is reduced to a minimum.

Disadvantages of Invisible Braces

Since it is more difficult to notice any food that may be stuck, practicing oral hygiene to keep them clean might take some extra effort.
If you have a severe or extremely deep overbite, you may put too much pressure on the invisible braces, causing them to detach. If this is a danger for you, your orthodontist will let you know.
During the first few months of adapting to lingual braces, it is usual to experience some speech problems (lisping or being unable to express well).
They are generally more costly than ordinary braces since they are tailored and exactly fit each tooth.

How do invisible braces work?

You’ll begin with an initial consultation to see if you’re a good candidate for this treatment option. When you decide to proceed, your orthodontist will take impressions or a digital image of your teeth, as well as X-rays. They will visually map the alignment of each tooth, gathering data using cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printing and robotics to custom-make the brackets and wires and decide your treatment plan. You’ll return for a bonding session once your braces system has been custom-made for your mouth, during which your orthodontist will place the brackets and wires. Although the bonding procedure is quite pleasant, it does take around two hours.

First, they’ll install a device in your mouth to keep your mouth dry and your tongue in place. They will next dry your teeth and prepare the tooth surface for bonding by using an etchant solution. They will next install your braces on the rear side of your teeth, bonding the brackets on your teeth while doing so, using a tailored tray to keep them in place. A UV light could be used to cure the adhesive and set the bonding. The cables will next be inserted. You’ll have a month or two to get adjusted to your braces before your first follow-up visit for normal adjustments.

You may suffer discomfort or soreness after each adjustment session, just like you would with clear or conventional braces. Rinses can help reduce discomfort, and dental wax helps protect sharp wires from stinging you. Brushing and flossing with your new braces will be discussed with your orthodontist. You may use a “tree brush” to check behind your cables for any leftover food, and electric toothbrushes are great for getting into hard-to-reach places.

How long does invisible braces treatment last?

Invisible braces often take the same amount of time to remove as regular braces. Because dental problems range from moderate to severe, treatment duration varies, but most patients will wear braces for one to three years. More severe instances may require more time.

Are Incognito braces more costly than conventional braces?

Because invisible braces are custom-made for your mouth, the price of invisible braces can be significantly more than that of standard braces. If you’re concerned about the cost of braces and simply require a little correction for your front teeth, you might have concealed braces exclusively for those teeth. You may also go invisible on the entire top row of teeth and then have standard braces on the bottom row, which significantly reduces the cost as well as the discomfort from the bottom row touching your tongue.
