Braces are an orthodontic tool that can effectively correct improper bites. Some patients, however, are uncomfortable with how the braces look, especially many adults who feel that orthodontic treatment is for teenagers. One solution is invisible braces from Incognito - braces placed on the backs of the teeth, where no one can see them.
Invisible braces are the only braces available that are completely customized, giving you the most efficient treatment possible. Since the brackets are placed behind the teeth instead of on the front, you can complete your treatment without anyone knowing you have braces.
Invisible braces are also excellent for patients who are worried about damage that brackets and wires from traditional braces can cause to the front of the teeth. Discoloration or staining that occurs with regular braces is prevented by using invisible braces, so you can avoid having to go back to the dentist for corrective treatments.
Patients who play contact sports also benefit from invisible braces. Regular braces can cause injury to the mouth and teeth during contact sports, even if you wear a mouth guard. Incognito braces help to prevent injury due to the placement of the brackets behind the teeth.
Regular braces can also cause difficulties for people who play wind instruments, which require the musician to make specific shapes with his or her lips. Invisible braces do not impede this like regular braces can. Both adult and teen musicians will benefit from invisible braces.
Perhaps the biggest benefit to using invisible braces is that you can retain your smile during treatment. Adult professionals and teens alike worry about how braces will affect their self-esteem, and with invisible braces, it’s a concern you do not need to have.
Most patients who are good candidates for regular braces can also get invisible braces, but each situation is unique. Contact the office of Dr. Seth Newman, serving the Long Island area, to find out if invisible braces are right for you. Call 516-626-2060 to schedule your visit today.
