Hidden Braces

These invisible braces work behind the scenes - literally.

  • Gold hidden braces
  • Confidence you can see. Braces you can’t.

    Most brackets are bonded to the front of your teeth, but the 3M™ Incognito™ Appliance System sits behind your teeth, on the lingual surface – practically invisible from the front.

    Smooth, low-profile braces follow the contours of your teeth for maximum comfort and minimal interference with your speech. The gold brackets are precision-made, highly polished for comfort. If you’ve had braces before but your front teeth have moved, ask your orthodontist about Incognito™ Lite Braces.

    You may feel that your voice sounds funny at first. If it seems you’re speaking with a lisp, try slowing down your speech until you get used to your new braces.
