As adults, having anything that is less than discreet just won’t do!
And when it comes to braces and aligners, this is also true. While you may not associate braces with being discreet, there are many orthodontic options available that can straighten even the most misaligned of teeth without drawing unwanted attention. Some of these options are fitted and cannot be removed by anyone besides a member of our team, and others are designed to be removed as and when it is required by the patient.
At Harley Street Dental, we are proud to offer both. With our invisible and clear braces in Harley Street, we can offer you an accelerated treatment which will be both discrete and easy to fit around other life commitments. No long-appointments, no excessive tightening and no worries about giving up your favourite foods, we really can offer it all with our range of adult orthodontics at Harley Street.
In this article, we will introduce one of our more popular fitted clear braces in Harley Street; the incognito brace.
What are Incognito Braces?
Visually similar to traditional orthodontic braces, incognito braces are attached to the inner side of your teeth, making them almost impossible to spot.
And used in a similar way to traditional alternatives, these clear braces in Harley Street are designed to correct a wide range of dental alignment issues which could not be achieved with invisible braces like Invisalign.
Incognito aligners will need altering or tightening from a member of our dental team on average every 6 weeks. However, with our expertise, these appointments will not be too long and will allow you to get on with your day. We are also open on Saturdays if you need an appointment outside the 9-5 window during the week.
Advantages of this brace
As mentioned earlier, this brace can offer the same advantages as traditional metal braces, while being visually hidden.
However, they are also custom-fitted for your comfort, making them more pleasant to wear than traditional metal alternatives. And while many people brag about the advantages of having removable aligners, as incognito braces are fitted, it is less likely that they will get damaged or become lost!
Finally, with an incognito brace, our team is better equipped to target your treatment, making these braces 30% faster at correcting malocclusions than other types of clear and invisible braces.
How long will it take?
This will depend on the severity of the malocclusion being treated, but on average, this brand of brace takes between 12-18 months to straighten teeth.
Like all orthodontic treatments, you will need to wear a retainer once the brace is removed to prevent your teeth from relapsing.
Cost
The incognito brace is typically more expensive than regular metal braces.
However, at Harley Street Dental, we can offer our suitable patients’ financing options to help you spread the cost into affordable monthly chunks. If you wish to discuss applying for our payment plan, contact a friendly member of our team for information.
