When many people think of braces, they envision children with bright, happy, slightly crooked, and metal-clad smiles. It’s true that a large portion of orthodontic care is aimed at children whose teeth and jaws are still developing, but adults suffer from malocclusion (a crooked bite), as well, and correcting it is equally important. If confidence in your appearance plays a significant role in your personal and/or professional life, then the thought of metal braces may not appeal to your desire for self-improvement. With a variety of adult braces from your Century City orthodontist, Dr. David Alpan, you can choose a discreet orthodontic option that straightens your teeth while remaining incognito to those around you.
Braces That None Can See
Ideally, patients shouldn’t sacrifice confidence for straighter smiles. The goal of adult orthodontics is to achieve the balance and symmetry a mouth requires to function properly while allowing the patient to retain confidence during treatment.
Incognito Braces
Incognito braces, also known as hidden, invisible, and lingual braces, follow the same principle as traditional braces, though with the brackets and wires attached to the back of teeth and out of sight. Incognito braces are highly customizable, each bracket designed to the specific orthodontic needs of the patient, to provide optimal comfort as well as discretion.
