What is InBrace?
InBrace offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces, being positioned behind the teeth, facing the tongue and palate, rather than on the front. Often referred to as incognito braces, they provide an excellent cosmetic option for individuals pursuing orthodontic treatment while wishing to steer clear of noticeable metal brackets and wires.
Though their design mirrors that of conventional metal or ceramic braces, InBrace is uniquely bonded to the inner surfaces of the teeth, rendering them nearly invisible. This placement not only enhances their aesthetic appeal but also increases convenience compared to standard braces. Fixed in place, they exert a steady, gentle force to guide teeth into their desired alignment over time.
For those who prioritize a subtle approach to orthodontics, InBrace stands out as an ideal choice. They work similarly to traditional braces by applying consistent pressure to move teeth gradually, all without the conspicuous appearance of metal brackets and wires.
How do they work?
Lingual braces, or behind the teeth braces, function like traditional braces by using brackets and wires to apply gentle, steady pressure, shifting teeth into alignment over 18 to 36 months, depending on the case. Custom-made and bonded to the back of the teeth with specialized tools, these smaller, “invisible” braces begin realigning the smile discreetly and efficiently after a straightforward procedure.
