Are all orthodontists qualified to provide Incognito Orthodontics to their patients?
Does Incognito Orthodontics complicate daily dental hygiene?
· Use an electric toothbrush in order to reach most of the surfaces of the brackets and the teeth.
· Then use interproximal brushes. These will help to clean the plaque and food particles that accumulate in the brackets and arch. Pay special attention to the antero-inferior teeth.
· Use Super Floss, a special dental floss, to remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth. Due to space limitations, it will be used on the anterior teeth to clean between the teeth and between the antero-inferior gums and teeth.
What is the adaptation period compared to vestibular treatments?
· In vestibular orthodontics there is discomfort because the brackets rub against the cheeks, in lingual orthodontics they temporarily rub against the tongue. The degree of discomfort is lower because, as opposed to other lingual techniques, the Incognito brackets have a low profile.
· The same as with vestibular orthodontics, tension in the teeth will be felt in the hours after the device is put in place, but this will gradually disappear.
· Tooth mobility will also be felt with the Incognito Orthodontics. This is normal and will decrease as the teeth become aligned.
· Rarely and occasionally, Incognito Lingual Orthodontics may interfere with speech when pronouncing certain sounds, especially words that have “R” or “S” in them, but this will disappear after 24-48 hours. In the event that this persists, interference with speech is minimal and it only happens to certain patients, especially those with a very narrow arch (this device is also different from the rest of lingual techniques, which cause a higher rate of speech distortion).
