Concealed braces (lingual technique)

With lingual braces, the brackets are attached to the inner side of the teeth rather than the outside. The braces are therefore invisible from the outside – neither in conversation nor in photos.

Lingual braces with Incognito

At our practice in Baar we use the Incognito system, in which each bracket is custom-made for your teeth. This combines the precision of fixed braces with the greatest possible discretion.

Your advantages

  • Completely invisible from the outside
  • Custom-made, flat brackets for a high level of comfort
  • Works around the clock without you having to think about wearing it
  • Suitable for complex misalignments, too
  • No visible discolouration or decalcification on the outer tooth surface

Who is it suitable for?

Lingual braces are ideal for adults and teenagers who value a discreet appearance at work or in private life. They are suitable for crowding, gaps and rotated teeth as well as for bite corrections – including cases where aligners reach their limits.

Procedure

After the initial consultation, we record your teeth with a digital scan. Based on this, the treatment goal is planned on the computer, and the brackets and archwires are made individually for you. The brackets are bonded painlessly in a single appointment, and we monitor progress at regular check-ups. Once treatment is complete, a retainer keeps the result stable.

Frequently asked questions

Do lingual braces affect speech?

The tongue needs a few days to get used to the brackets. Any slight change in pronunciation at the start usually disappears quickly.

How long does treatment take?

Similar to conventional fixed braces – depending on the initial situation, usually between one and two years.

Are lingual braces more expensive than conventional braces?

Yes, as each bracket is custom-made. You receive a transparent cost plan before treatment begins.

What do I need to know about oral hygiene?

Thorough brushing after every meal, together with interdental brushes, and regular professional cleaning during treatment.
