Lingual orthodontics, in short, is an orthodontic treatment
method applied from the back parts of the teeth. As a matter of fact, the word -lingual- means "tongue side", "tongue area" in Latin
and defines the orthodontic treatment applied to the parts of the teeth facing the tongue. Incognito treatment is the market name of one of the methods used in lingual orthodontics. Just like other methods in lingual orthodontics, in incognito, the wires and brackets used are glued to the back surfaces of the teeth. The biggest advantage of incognito and other lingual
orthodontic methods is that, unlike the invisalign method, they can be used not only in certain
cases but also in more complicated cases.
Incognito appliances are designed and produced completely individually. Unlike the brackets and wires used in all other
orthodontic treatment methods and manufactured
in fabrication, in the incognito method, everything is produced from a "gold alloy"
specifically for the patient's mouth. In short, in this method, the measurements taken from the patients' teeth are first sent to the center abroad (Germany), where they are produced specifically for the individual with the help of a special computer-supported software, and then sent back to our country.
Incognito treatment. Another feature that distinguishes it from other lingual methods is that the brackets produced specifically for the treatment
are not attached directly to the back of the teeth, but through a base made of gold
. In this way, the back surfaces of the teeth are as if covered with a gold surface
and the possibility of not being able to provide adequate oral hygiene and
caries formation, as in other lingual methods, is reduced. For this reason, brackets are very easy to get used to.
Incognito is the most widely used lingual treatment system in the world today and can only be applied by orthodontists who have a certificate obtained as a result of special training.
In summary, Incognito is especially due to aesthetic concerns. The best solution for those who avoid treatment or constantly postpone their
treatment is for patient groups where aesthetic concerns are at the forefront (politicians, professionals in business life, artists, models, athletes, etc.). ...) is a good alternative.
