Lingual orthodontics / Incognito

Lingual orthodontics refers to the use of orthodontic appliances (braces) placed on the tongue side of the teeth and therefore do not show at all.

Tooth coloured ceramic braces placed on the front of the teeth blend into the teeth and are far less visible than conventional metal braces.

Some people prefer the appearance of gold to steel as it appears softer and shows less.

All orthodontic problems can be carried out with metal braces.

A functional appliance is a brace used in growing children to guide and redirect the jaws and teeth.

Transparent aligners or tooth positioners can be used to reposition teeth.

Headgear is mainly only used in children and adolescents.

Facemasks are sometimes used in children to correct the position of the upper jaw and teeth as the child is growing.

To prevent the development problems caused by early loss of baby teeth, a space-maintainer can be fitted.

Orthognathic surgery refers to surgery on the jaws.
