What is InBrace (Hidden Braces?)

InBrace Hidden Braces is a new approach on how to straighten your teeth. This new innovation was developed in 2001 and incorporates the use of robotic technology to precisely bend and create the arch wires used to move teeth more efficiently. These braces attach to the lingual or tongue side of your teeth instead of the facial side, which make them invisible and totally clear. InBrace Hidden Braces are invisible to the outside world. Only you know that you are wearing braces, so they are the best braces for dating or trying to be discrete.

What is the advantage of InBrace Hidden Braces?

There are many advantages listed above. The main advantage for most people is they are Hidden Lingual Braces customized to fit the tongue surface of each individual tooth. Other lingual braces are not customized and have a generic prescription that requires more frequent adjustment with increased treatment time. InBrace is created with the use of 3D Cad Cam Technology so the accuracy is far superior to other lingual systems. AO uses impression-less 3D intra Oral Scanning (Itero) to capture the teeth surfaces and biting relationship for manufacturing. We do not use messy impressions.
The 3D digital based systems allows for InBrace braces to be made up to 70% smaller than other lingual braces making them more comfortable with less tongue irritation and less impact on speech. It is easier to maintain good oral hygiene and less chances of breaking while eating. A gold alloy is used to make the brackets, which reduces the risk of nickel-related allergies. The custom fit reduces the risk of detaching brackets, which reduces the number of emergency appointments required to re-bond them.
