Well…just about anyone! Incognito braces can be worn by children, adolescents and adults. They’re especially popular amongst adults, many of whom choose Incognito because they don’t want their braces to be visible in professional or business environments. Others simply choose them for aesthetic and self-confidence reasons. If you have any specific concerns or worries, we’ll be happy to discuss them with you.

Above all, your braces are specially designed for you. That means a minimum of pain and discomfort, maximum efficiency and the shortest possible treatment times. During our consultations we’ll retrieve key information from you, and take a mould of your teeth.

This mould is then sent off to our supplier, who uses cutting-edge digital imagery, rapid prototyping and high-tech machining to produce your custom Incognito braces.

We find that most of our customers complete their treatment within 12-to-18 months. Depending on each particular patient, though, treatment times can vary, and there are quite a lot of factors which can affect the timescales involved. We’ll be able to give you a more specific estimate during our consultations.

Once again, this may well depend on your particular treatment plan. Most patients won’t experience a speech impediment – and if you don’t have one immediately as the treatment begins, there’s next to no chance of you developing one as the treatment progresses.

Some dental patients can experience speech impediments during the first few weeks, but will find that after a brief period of adjustment, they quickly overcome it. Your orthodontist can provide you with a quick couple of speech exercises to help speed the transition.

You may experience minor discomfort as the treatment begins, with your teeth, tongue and lips subject to slight soreness. However, as with potential speech impediments, this should last no more than the first two weeks. During this time it’s often wise to stick to softer foods, avoiding crunchy or harder foodstuffs like biscuits or apples.

In your consultations we’ll be able to give you more detailed specific information on how to care for your braces, while minimising discomfort.
