Transparent and removable: Invisalign
Your treatment with Invisalign doesn't happen with classical fixed braces. Instead you will wear a subsequent number of transparent, removable "aligners". Differing from the adult version there is a special version for teenagers, called "Invisalign Teen".
Wether you want it for dinner, tooth brushing or being photographed - you can take our your aligners in a second whenever you want to.
The normal use of tooth brushes and tooth silk is still possible - different to braces.
Depending on the extent of your tooth corrections you will receive between 5 and approximately 50 custom made aligners.
With an interval of 14 days you will change your consecutively numbered aligners against the following one. So yout teeth will be brought into their final position, step by step, fortnight by fortnight. We will plan this procedure for you.
Bottom line
Aligner are perfect for small and medium jaw corrections. They are superior to regular braces regarding wearing comfort and cleaning possibilities.
Interior "lingual" braces: Incognito
Incognito braces are applied on the interior "lingual" (towards the tongue) surface of the teeth. That is why you can only see them when your mouth is opened widely. While you smile about that, these braces are invisible.
Incognito combines optimal treatment results with a high wearing comfort. As a highly modern bracket system it is suitable for patients with any kind of tooth malposition.
Supported by the most modern digitalized technology all system components will be custom made for you. The main material is gold.
In comparison to brackets (that are applied on the exterior surface of your teeth) this system ist easier to clean.
Bottom line
Lingual braces are perfect for medium and large jaw corrections, when braces shall not be visible. As lingual braces are applied on the interior tooth surface, you can only sense them with your tongue. Speaking requires a little familiarisation, which is minimal because Incognito is constructed in an extremely flat design.
