Here at Weybridge Orthodontics, we are experts at helping our patients get the smile they have always wanted and offer lots of choice when it comes to treatments. Incognito in Weybridge and Invisalign are two options that have proven to be popular and effective when it comes to correcting teeth that are misaligned. Here we explore the details and benefits regarding both these treatments. 
What is Incognito?
Incognito in Weybridge is a type of braces that is similar to the traditional ones that are usually thought of when it comes to orthodontic treatment. They are made up of metal wires with brackets holding them in place, but rather than wearing them at the front of the teeth they are worn behind them.
Incognito in Weybridge is a very effective means of straightening the teeth that delivers great results. It is tailored to the individual and can be used to resolve even quite severe cases of misalignment.
Very subtle
Incognito in Weybridge is an excellent choice for those patients who want the effectiveness of traditional braces but who do not want the whole world to know that they are wearing braces. Although they are not invisible, their position behind the teeth means that these braces are barely detectable by others.
No special routine to remember
Incognito braces are a permanent fixture for the duration of treatment. This can be an advantage because the patient does not have to think about them too much. They do not need to remember to take them out for certain situations such as meals, or when they need to put them back in. It is usually a simple matter of taking good care of the teeth and braces during treatment with some vigilant oral hygiene.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a different kind of treatment from incognito. The braces are made from trays of soft plastic referred to as aligners. These trays are worn over the teeth, but they are completely clear which means that they are invisible to others. The aligners are tailored to fit the teeth of the individual patient and are changed every couple of weeks. These changes help to gradually alter the position of the teeth over time.
Invisible
This is arguably the biggest advantage of Invisalign, and the reason that so many people choose these braces. They are an easy option from this point of view for people of all ages, especially adults who are getting their teeth corrected later in life. These patients are more likely to want to keep their treatment to themselves due to feeling self-conscious about friends and colleagues knowing about it.
No restrictions on diet
Clear braces are taken out for eating. This means that there are no restrictions on the kinds of food the patient can have as meals or snacks. They can continue to enjoy any food they desire, provided the teeth are thoroughly brushed after eating and before replacing the aligners.
The best choice
The best choice is very much decided by the individual in consultation with us. The type of braces that will be most suitable depends on the position of the teeth and degree of misalignment. Making an appointment with us allows the patient to get advice and guidance about what to opt for and how to get started.
