Frequently Asked Questions

Could I have an Incognito brace?

You need to book a consultation at the nearest orthodontist that is skilled in using Incognito. They will be able to advise you about the best method of treatment for you and if Incognito is suitable for your needs. This consultation usually costs around £100. This might seem expensive, but you're paying for a highly skilled orthodontist to spend time talking to you in detail about your teeth and what you would like to change. They take x-rays and pictures and then go away and examine your case in detail. They feedback to you (usually a couple of days later) about what they could do to help you and what all your options are.



Where can I get Incognito treatment?

You can use the orthodontist finder on the Incognito Website.

How much did your brace cost?

My full brace cost £5500. The cost varies depending on where you live and on whether you wish to have Incognito on both or just one arch. The upper arch is usually more expensive. Several people I talk to via YouTube have Incognito on the top and clarity on the bottom (a normal outside brace with clear pads). There are various payment options available which you can as your nearest Incognito practice about. I know this figure seems initally steep, but it's much cheaper than many other cosmetic surgery procedures and everyone will see the investment there, every time you talk or smile.



Does your brace effect your singing?

Only as much as it affected my speech - slight lisp for the first few weeks. After 2 months, speech and singing were entirely adapted to the device.


Is it difficult to eat?

It's difficult to eat for the first 2-3 weeks when get your brace on and sometimes when it's tightened or the wire changed. This is normal and some soup, yoghurt, protein shakes and straws make life considerably easier! Other than these times, eating is easy. You have to avoid very hard or sticky foods as these may pull off your brace and tearing or chopping up food before you eat them is advisable. Obviously, some foods are going to get stuck in your appliance more than others. For this reason, having a glass of water with your meal and keeping a toothbrush and flossing sticks with you at all times is essential.
