Hidden Braces

Braces are becoming increasingly popular with people who have experienced a long history of imperfect smiles. They are most popular with image-conscious teenagers, successful professionals, and others who do not want to draw attention to their progressive dental work. Hidden braces or lingual braces are perfect for these people.

As the name implies, hidden braces are not visible, they can get you straight teeth ‘behind the scenes’ without others knowing your secret unless you tell them.

We know that many people are conscious of their smiles. Miami entrepreneurs prefer discreet orthodontic treatment instead of regular braces.

Having a perfect smile used to be a dream for people with dental problems, but thanks to the latest technology, it is no longer a problem. Today, you can have straight teeth without being conscious of having those wires around your teeth.

Yes, it's possible with lingual braces. Lingual braces or hidden braces, are the advanced version of regular braces that are unnoticeably hidden behind the teeth, unlike traditional "rails".

Dr. Maria Yazji began using this technology when she encountered many patients who wanted to fix their smiles but did not want to wear brackets in the front of the teeth. This situation was most common in teenagers and young adults. Here we quote our experience with a teenager to help you understand why this is problematic in teens.

A teenager's story

A few months ago, we had a patient with crooked teeth. He was a teenage basketball player. He wanted to fix his smile, but wearing wires and brackets was not his best option. He thought that wearing brackets would make him look weird among his classmates, that girls wouldn't like it, and that his popularity might suffer.

However, his concerns were valid and justified. So, when he came to see Dr. Maria Yazji, she suggested that he should opt for 3M Incognito lingual braces. He was hesitant at first, but once the procedure was done, he was more than happy that no one could notice his hidden braces.

Meanwhile, his crooked teeth started to get into the desired position, and after a while, his smile started to make progress, and believe us, no one knew that he had been wearing hidden braces.

So you see, the image-conscious teenager was able to achieve the smile of his dreams, but like all other dental treatments, hidden braces also have their pros and cons. So before you start, you need to know about them. Let's take a quick look at them.

Advantages of hidden braces

• Lingual braces are not visible.

• These braces effectively correct most bite problems.

• Your orthodontist will fully customize them to maximize their effectiveness and increase your comfort.

Disadvantages of hidden braces

• Lingual braces are more expensive than traditional wire braces.

• Just like with regular braces, you will need to take care of the foods you eat in order to prevent broken brackets and wires.

Bottom line

Everyone dreams of a perfect smile, and having a beautiful smile is no longer a dream. Regular braces and 3M Incognito braces (lingual braces) will help you achieve a straight smile but if you want a more discreet way to correct your teeth with braces, you should choose 3M Incognito braces. Only a few orthodontists in Miami, Florida offer Incognito braces because orthodontists need further training and education to be able to provide their patients with this treatment option.
