What are Incognito in Weybridge?

Incognito are a type of brace we offer at our clinic, which uses a metal wire plating system adhered discreetly to the back of the teeth!

Incognito braces may be often overlooked, however they are the perfect choice for patients who wish for subtle, and fast acting dental results.

Would Incognito in Weybridge be right for me?

Our dental clinic has recognised that within the ever evolving field of modern dentistry, there is a growing desire for more discreet and effective braces. Our clinic believes that Incognito in Weybridge is a perfect choice for individuals who wish for minimal abrasion to the gums, something that can be caused by traditional braces. Aside from fewer dental abrasions, Incognito braces may only cause minimal or zero speech impairment, far less than that which can be caused by traditional metal ‘train tracks’.

How do they work?

Incognito braces are referred to as the ‘modern and invisible alternative to traditional metal braces’. Incognito braces at our clinic within Weybridge are designed using modern dental technology, and the best possible materials available. In terms of the way they work, Incognito braces are personalised for each of our individual cases, applying pressure from behind the teeth, to encourage the teeth to move in a positive direction.

Did you know?

Many of our patients may lean towards this particular form of orthodontics due to their discreet appearance, but also their pleasanter dental experience. These braces are extremely comfortable to wear, which can be a huge benefit for many of our patients, especially for those who do not wish for their dental work to cause a hindrance in their work and social lives.

The design process

Initially, our trained dentists will thoroughly assess each dental case, ensuring the design and measurements can be made perfectly for our patients. Our trained orthodontists use a three dimensional system which helps our patients visualise the end results, with pinpoint accuracy. Once the treatment begins, patients may embrace the fixed aspect of their braces, Incognito braces are never removed, which means patients can eat, drink, and clean their teeth as if they weren’t there!

How much do Incognito braces cost?

We always inform our patients that each dental case varies greatly depending on the complexity of their dental situation and the condition which needs to be addressed, however we can give a rough estimate for them. We also offer monthly payment plans with zero per cent interest

Feeling nervous about receiving Incognito?

Many of our patients may be feeling anxious about receiving orthodontics at our clinic, however they need not fear. Dental anxiety is extremely common in patients facing dentistry, and can be triggered by negative childhood experiences. If you are a patient who is feeling nervous, our clinic doors are always open, so feel free to give us a call, or come in and see us, to voice any of your queries or concerns.

Have you considered using Incognito braces in Weybridge?

With braces, you can achieve your lifelong dream of having straight teeth. However, even though archetypal braces have evolved, people are hesitant about the possibility of wearing a straightening aid.

While adult braces are socially acceptable, many do not like the idea of having metal glued to their front teeth for the world to see.

If you are looking for an alternative device, have you considered Incognito in Weybridge? Contact us today at Weybridge Orthodontics, to learn more.

What is Incognito in Weybridge?

Incognito braces are aptly named because the device is positioned behind your teeth and out of plain sight.

They are made in a similar way to ordinary braces, using metal brackets and wire; only the placement is different.

Why choose Incognito in Weybridge?

Incognito or lingual (meaning toward the tongue) braces are custom-fabricated to fit the shape of your teeth exactly.

We also use 3D technology that helps to accurately map out your treatment and provide you with results that will not leave you feeling disappointed.

Will I have to change my lifestyle with Incognito in Weybridge?

Braces can change the way your teeth look monumentally, but when you wear them, you may get frustrated by the sacrifices that you have to make.

With lingual braces, these will not be issues that you face, and for the most part, you can carry on with your life as usual. At the same time, you will not have to worry about discolouration or white spots when your braces come off.

However, one thing to make a note of is that cleaning grit out of the back of your teeth can get tricky, so be sure to invest in some high-quality floss.

Is there anything else about lingual braces that I should know about?

Lingual braces do come with a set of limitations, especially if you have a severe overbite. A severe malocclusion will exert a lot of pressure on the device, causing it to detach easily. In these instances, our orthodontist will direct you toward a more suitable method.

You may also struggle to speak properly initially and develop a temporary lisp. However, once your teeth adjust to the foreign device in your mouth, it should go away over time.

As with conventional braces, there are types of food that you cannot eat because of how they might react with your device. For example, you should stay away from hard or crunchy food. If you do not want to limit your diet, Invisalign is a viable alternative.

Last but not least, despite being made to fit your mouth, the device has been reported by many as uncomfortable. While you may get used to the device, some people experience low-level discomfort throughout the experiences of wearing braces due to their tongue being in constant contact with metal.

Exploring the alternatives

If an Incognito device is not for you, Invisalign is another commonly used orthodontic aid that renders positive results and lots of happy smiles.

As with Incognito braces, the device, made from clear plastic, is not detectable to the untrained eye.

Are Incognito right for me?

Incognito in Weybridge are a subtle form of orthodontics which aim to re-align, fix overbites, and amend protrusion of the teeth. Incognito in Weybridge, also commonly referred to as lingual braces, are growing in popularity, due to their less conspicuous appearance, and easy treatment process in comparison to traditional metal braces. Incognito braces are an innovative type of brace that produce effective results rapidly, and can be suitable for many of our patients. Many individuals may lean more towards Incognito braces due to the fact that they are comfortable to wear, with a lack of metal wires and brackets, which therefore eliminates the need for wire tightening appointments.

Choosing the right orthodontic option for you

If you are suffering from dental imperfections, but don’t wish for obvious dental work, then Incognito braces may be right for you. Many of our patients wish for orthodontics which don’t hinder their career prospects, and don’t impact their self-confidence. Incognito braces are the only fixed-appliance, invisible orthodontic option currently on the UK market which are customised for each individual patient.

How long does Incognito in Weybridge take to produce results?

As with any dental or orthodontic treatment, the treatment time varies greatly depending on the severity of the individual case. Although it is hard to distinguish the exact treatment time, we can give our patients a rough estimate once we have assessed their teeth.  Patients with more extreme cases may take a year or two, although more simple cases can take a considerably less amount of time.

Are Incognito in Weybridge expensive?

At our clinic within Weybridge we aim to offer our patients the choice of dentistry both under the National Health Service, and with private dental treatments. Unfortunately subtle orthodontics such as Invisalign and lingual braces, are considered as cosmetic, and are therefore not available on the National Health Service.

Do you offer alternative payment options?

Yes! We understand that many of our patients may not be able to pay for their dental work upfront, which is why we offer our patients a monthly payment plan. Going through any form of dentistry whether this be restorative, orthodontic, or cosmetic can be costly financially, and emotionally, especially for those who suffer from dental anxiety.

Our monthly payment plan

Many of our patients may wish to avoid a hefty upfront cost, which is why we offer them zero per cent interest payment plans. Our dental treatments can be paid in instalments, with a zero per cent APR rate. Located on our website, we also offer our patients a repayment calculator, which allows them to decide the deposit they wish to pay, along with the monthly payments they are financially able to produce.

Patients who feel nervous about visiting the dentist

Many patients may experience varying levels of anxiety when visiting the dentist, this may be due to negative childhood experiences, which can be carried into adulthood. We understand that some patients’ nerves may prevent them from attending their dental appointments, which is why we try to help. Our dental clinic within Weybridge aims to soothe our patients’ nerves by offering them a welcoming, clean, and comfortable dental environment.

What are lingual braces?

A custom-fitted appliance that is practically invisible, Incognito in Weybridge is fitted to the back of your teeth, so no-one will know you are wearing them unless you tell them!

These braces are created using state of the art technology, to ensure that they fit your teeth correctly and do not cause discomfort during treatment.

How do they work?

Before having your new braces fitted, our team will need to take a bite impression if your teeth. Once completed, we will fit the braces to the back of your teeth, holding the gold brackets in place with dental cement.

Similar to traditional orthodontic braces, you will need to visit our team every few weeks for archwires tightened, to move your teeth into their desired position. Depending on the severity of your misalignment, you may require more tightening sessions and adjustments before that gorgeous new smile is achieved.

What can they correct?

Lingual braces can correct a wide variety of dental misalignments, commonly being used to treat issues such as over and underbites, crossbites, and protrusions.

However, lingual braces can also correct overcrowding, spacing issues and misalignments of the teeth; if you bit does not fit perfectly together, then it is likely that lingual braces can help to correct that!

What are the advantages of lingual braces?

Did we mention that they are practically invisible?

Of course, discretion is one of the key advantages of having lingual braces fitted but there are a few others too.

Compared to invisible aligners, for example, they are more equipped to deal with tooth rotations and more difficult movements, which are common in many mouths that require orthodontic treatment.

Similarly, lingual braces also offer our dental team more control over how your teeth will move.

This allows our dentists to perform more precise and minor movements, which would be impossible to achieve with invisible or clear braces. Eager to find out if lingual braces are for you? Contact our friendly team at Weybridge Orthodontics today for an initial consultation. Call us today!

Discrete ingenuity

Historically, patients who are seeking orthodontic realignment treatments often had to sacrifice their outward appearance for the sake of progress. This was primarily due to the limited methodologies that were available, leaving few with any options other than traditional metal braces. These could often cause discomfort and could greatly affect the patient’s appearance. Today however, treatments such as Incognito in Weybridge afford patients the ability to undertake essential dental realignment without anyone noticing. Treatments such as these have only come about through decades of design ingenuity and refinement and the vastness of materials and methodologies that have become available through the age of technological prowess we live.

Going incognito

Incognito in Weybridge is a modern solution to dental realignment, which negates the issues faced by those who undertake conventional methods, such as their outward appearance being affected and thus their self-esteem and confidence suffering as a result. This is achieved by adopting a similar method to traditional braces, in that the patient’s teeth are realigned by using fused sockets and a metal wire — however, what separates Incognito from its predecessor, is that the wire and sockets are fused to the backs of the patient’s teeth and thus are practically invisible from the front.

Hidden wonders

The Incognito Lingual Bracket system is the only 100% custom fixed appliance system for invisible braces within the UK. This means that each installation of these braces is entirely unique to each patient. By utilising cutting-edge 3D rendering technology, an entirely accurate digitised impression of the contours and shapes of each patient’s teeth can be made with ease. This allows for our expertly trained team of orthodontics to install these braces, constructed from arch-wires, bonding trays and brackets, uniquely for each patient. Patients seeking this treatment from us, here at Weybridge Orthodontics, are afforded the ability to smile to their fullest potential, without having to suffer any potential embarrassment that may arise from exposing teeth that are misaligned, or from exposing large metal braces. Additionally to this, patients who choose such a solution, can also enjoy all the luxuries that conventional braces do not allow, such as enjoying any food without fear of it becoming lodged within their braces.

What exactly is Orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontics is a field of dentistry, that works on the alignment of the teeth and jaw and ensures that the bite is working correctly. Teeth being misaligned is extremely common, due to the complexity of teeth, and due to genetic factors, such as the wisdom teeth slowly becoming obsolete to modern humans. It is important that your teeth are straight to ensure that they are biting correctly, and not putting any strain or eroding any other teeth. If you have any concerns or queries about orthodontics, then do not hesitate to contact us at Weybridge Orthodontics, and we will be able to give you more information on what you need. Our patients are our number one priority, and we want to ensure that you know exactly what treatments you need, and are brought up to speed on any extra costs or information.

Incognito in Weybridge

Why is orthodontics important?

Having straight teeth is important not just for cosmetic reasons. A misaligned jaw can have many dangers, such as putting more strain on several areas of the teeth and causing tooth erosion. Tooth erosion can be dangerous, as it can pose a serious risk of cavities, as your enamel will have been worn down and be less protective.

Fixed Braces

One of the most common forms of orthodontic treatment are fixed braces. Fixed braces offer an extremely practical solution to crooked teeth, and are available for all ages, and can be extremely effective. One of the main benefits of fixed braces is that they are one of the fastest ways to correct teeth, and if teeth are corrected at the right time, you can have straight teeth in a matter of months.

Some of the downsides to having fixed braces is the damage that they can cause the gums, and they can also be painful or irritable to the teeth, as they pull them into the correct position.

What is Incognito treatment?

If you are looking for Incognito in Weybridge, then this is something that Weybridge Orthodontics offers as an alternative to regular fixed braces. If you are looking for an alternative to fixed braces, then we would highly recommend Incognito. Weybridge Orthodontics is committed to providing the best possible service to you, so we understand that fixed braces may not be the most desirable option. Fixed braces can often be associated with being a teenager, so many adults may be averse to this kind of treatment entirely. Also, if their teeth are only slightly crooked, then they may feel as if fixed braces are not worth the hassle.

Incognito offers a fantastic solution, and works as a fixed braces on the back of the teeth, so you’ll be able to reap all the benefits of regular braces, but they won’t be visible to everyone you meet, and you won’t have to worry about feeling self-conscious about your dental treatment. If you are interested, and looking for Incognito in Weybridge, then we would highly recommend booking a consultation at our practice.

Why choose Incognito braces in Weybridge over other straightening devices?

Time and time again, regular metal braces prove effective for the user, but their appearance is often described as ‘ugly’, and the experience of wearing them can be highly uncomfortable, especially when metal scrapes your inner cheek and lips. On the other hand, straightening devices such as Invisalign can be problematic for people who lose things easily or forget to replace the invisible braces in their mouths after eating and brushing their teeth.

Incognito Braces in WeybridgeWhat then, are other possible options available to gain an improved smile? We recommend lingual or Incognito braces in Weybridge. Our dental practitioners at Weybridge Orthodontics have the skill and know-how to oversee your treatment.

Lingual braces combine the best features of both types of braces – the fixed nature of conventional straightening aids with the invisible and metal-free appearance of Invisalign. An Incognito brace goes one step further in that it is the only fixed appliance on the market that is uniquely customised for the wearer.

What makes the brace ‘invisible’?

What makes a lingual brace different from a normal one? The brace is affixed behind the teeth and adjacent to the tongue, making it completely hidden from sight. The only people who will know about it are the people you tell and your orthodontist.

Are there similarities between lingual braces and regular braces?

There are more similarities than differences between the two straightening aids.

Lingual braces in Weybridge use metal and archwires – the same materials used with conventional methods.

The duration of treatment, depending on the nature of your issue, is much the same and ranges between 18 months and two years.

To avoid wires snapping and metal breaking, certain hard foods should be avoided while wearing braces, as well as certain drinks that stain – also try to avoid popcorn as you will be picking out kernels for days afterwards.

How are incognito braces applied to your teeth?

We need dental impressions of your teeth, so we can create a device that fits your teeth exactly using custom-designed brackets and wires, which we will then firmly cement into place.

Am I a suitable candidate for Incognito braces in Weybridge?

If you prefer a discreet straightening device, the chances are that you have also considered Invisalign braces. But, it might be the case where the problem you face is too severe or complicated for invisible braces to fix.

Unlike the above, incognito braces can fix a wide range of issues, such as severely misaligned teeth, protruding overbites and other unique conditions.

Are there disadvantages that I should know about before making my decision?

While incognito braces use smaller brackets to try and minimise this issue, tongue irritations that come from constant contact with metal is something you should be aware of. While you might get used to the sensation, it never fully goes away for the treatment’s duration.

Other small issues include temporary speech impairment in the first few weeks after the brace is applied to your teeth – this happens because your tongue is slowly getting used to the foreign object in your mouth. Additionally, not being able to see the back of your mouth might prove problematic when trying to floss food particles from between your teeth.

Not having metal glinting from your front teeth makes lingual braces a desirable alternative to regular braces. Let us help you start you on your journey to straighter teeth.

Incognito: a modern and effective alternative to metal braces

Having braces affixed to your teeth is no longer just for children going through adolescence, people from all age groups are considering having their teeth straightened, thanks to the changing world of modern orthodontics.

Incognito in WeybridgeAsk any person about their experiences of conventional braces and what they would change about it and their answers would be similar across the board: “To find an aid that effectively straightens my teeth but still allows me to keep a low profile.” Metal braces do their job, but such devices are anything but discreet.

If you are a thirty-something adult exploring your options, add Incognito braces in Weybridge to your list, or come and have a chat to our orthodontic’s team at Weybridge Orthodontics.

What are Incognito braces in Weybridge?

Incognito or lingual braces are devices that are fastened to the back of your teeth, i.e. the lingual or tongue-facing side.

From the brackets used to the wiring – everything about the straightening aid is custom designed to fit your teeth comfortably.

Will treatment time differ to regular braces?

As with any straightening device, duration varies from person to person and depends exclusively on the extent of your issue and how much work is required to get your teeth where you want them to be.

An advanced 3D mapping device photographs your teeth to create a lingual device that fits the shape of your teeth perfectly. Using such technology, your orthodontist can also predict the movement of your teeth over time and give a rough estimate of how long it takes to pull them into the desired position.

Benefits of lingual braces

Similar to Invisalign, the wearer can enjoy the perks of having a device that cannot be seen, unless a person is looking closely inside your mouth. But unlike Invisalign, lingual braces cannot be taken out, which for some, is advantageous. You will not have to worry about having to remember to place your aligner back into your mouth after eating, nor do you have to practice self-discipline to keep the device in your mouth despite having the freedom to remove it whenever you like.

While you still have to be cautious about what food you can eat, you do not have to worry about food getting stuck in the wires, because particles that do wedge themselves between your teeth are out of sight.

Do they hurt?

Braces of all kinds, even removable ones such as Invisible braces, cause discomfort initially.

Experiencing a sore and sensitive mouth for a few weeks after your braces are fitted is entirely normal and short lasting.

Are they expensive?

The amount you pay for Incognito braces is likely to exceed normal ones. However, if you are willing to pay the price for an invisible brace that will not affect how you look, you are not alone in this decision.

Adding to that, you are not just paying for the “look” but also a brace that is just the right fit for your mouth.

Are you looking to straighten your smile?

Every year more and more adults are seeking treatment to realign their teeth in the least painful and least noticeable way. Traditional metal braces give off a very “brace face” teenage image, and many adults feel this look does not go over well in professional, romantic or social settings at their age.

Incognito in WeybridgeHave you considered Incognito Braces?

And here at Weybridge Orthodontics, we understand why many adults are seeking treatments using transparent, invisible, yet effective and comfortable ways to realign their smile. And luckily the technological advancements have made that possible.

Incognito braces, or as we call them Incognito, in Weybridge, are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to traditional braces. The braces can work for anyone, any age, any teeth. So, if teenagers and adults alike want to avoid the braceface image, then these are for you.

How do they work?

The braces are placed on the teeth the same way as traditional braces, a metal bracket is glued to the teeth with a wire laced in between them and then the wire is slowly pulled over time to move the teeth into the desired place. The only difference is the brackets are placed onto the inside of the teeth making the braces virtually incognito. In Weybridge, many of our patients have enjoyed the benefits of a new smile without the aesthetic of metal in photographs, while laughing, or even against their lips.

The braces treatment using Incognito in Weybridge is a sure way to achieve your dream smile and avoid looking in the mirror with a mouth full of braces.
