Incognito - The invisible treatment

Incognito offers an alternative way to get beautiful teeth without having to wear clearly visible fixed braces, which are considered undesirable for many aesthetic reasons.

These braces are worn on the inside, totally "incognito". A discreet solution for those with careers in the public eye.

Comfortable to Wear

The astonishingly slim design of the brackets attached to the inside of your teeth makes them comfortable to wear. Customised to fit each tooth, they are also slim enough that they don't affect your speech.

Custom Made for You

The brackets and arches are fabricated in a laboratory just for your teeth, and the treatment is simple and fast. The brackets themselves are made of a metal alloy high in gold content, which is particularly biocompatible and thus highly recommended for those with allergies.

Course of Treatment with Incognito

1. It starts with a first impression

To start treatment with the Incognito system, impressions of the teeth must first be taken. The plaster models made from the impressions are used to create an individualised therapeutic set-up. The correct position of the jaws is simulated using an articulator and a bite registration.

2. Construction of the patient-specific brackets

Special CAD/CAM software allows for the construction of patient-specific brackets. The fabrication process begins with the customised bases for the lingual surfaces of the teeth. The bases fit perfectly because of the high-precision data from the scan.

3. Positioning the bracket bodies

After designing the bracket bases, the software is used to position the matching bracket bodies loaded from the digital archive. The vertical position, torque, and angulation of each bracket are predetermined. That way, the special requirements of each patient may be taken into account when making the brackets. Shown here is a complete bracket set with accompanying arch.

4. Making the tray

The pretreated gold brackets are arranged and checked in all 3 dimensions so they can be precisely attached to the malocclusion model. Then a tray is made directly on the model to ensure that the brackets are transferred exactly from the model to the patient's teeth. Gold brackets on the original malocclusion model.

5. Casting the customised brackets

Brackets after casting. First, rapid prototyping machines build wax models of the customised brackets. These are then embedded in a muffle, and the wax is removed by heating. The mould cavities thus created are cast with a dental alloy high in gold content. The customised brackets are then smoothed and polished using machines to ensure a high degree of patient comfort.

6. Arch fabrication

The arch geometry is precisely calculated by the CAD/CAM program and then bent into shape by a robot. Each of the patient’s arches has the exact same geometry, aiming towards the final position as planned in the set-up.

7. The result: Incognito braces

Incognito braces. The result of this process is the Incognito Lingual Bracket System, a 100% customised and high-precision system achieving optimal treatment results and simultaneously offering the highest patient comfort.
