Incognito braces
Looking to straighten your teeth without visible brackets or rememoveable aligner trays? Incognito braces are a fixed, behind-the-teeth solution designed to be completely hidden while still delivering precise and reliable results. This style of treatment gives you the full strength of traditional orthodontics, without drawing attention to your smile during the process.
Incognito Braces Offer Invisible Treatment
Incognito braces are a type of lingual braces bonded to the back of your teeth instead of the front. This makes them completely hidden when you smile, speak or laugh. They are a great solution for people who want effective treatment but prefer a more subtle approach.
Because incognito braces are custom-designed for each tooth, they deliver accurate movement and reliable results, even in complex cases. They appeal to professionals, performers, and anyone who prefers to keep their treatment private.
Why Choose Incognito Braces Over Other Options
Patients often prefer the aesthetic advantage when comparing incognito braces to more visible systems like traditional braces in Melbourne. While aligners offer discretion too, incognito braces stay in place at all times, meaning there’s no need to remember to put them in or remove them when eating.
Key benefits include:
- Truly invisible – brackets and SureSmile Wires bond to the back of your teeth, meaning nobody sees your braces
- Continuous treatment – unlike aligners, there’s no need to remove or remember trays; your braces work 24/7.
- Suitable for both adults and teens
- Ideal for professionals – perfect if you speak, perform or meet clients and want your treatment to stay private
- Precision for complex cases – great for treating crowding, spacing and bite issues
- Customised to the shape of each tooth for comfort and efficiency
Incognito braces can also be used for targeted overbite treatment, where front-facing braces may feel more intrusive or less desirable during daily life.
How Incognito Braces Work
After a detailed consultation and scan, each bracket and archwire is custom-made using advanced digital design and manufacturing. The braces are then bonded to the inside of your teeth, completely concealed from view.
Over time, the wires gently guide your teeth into better alignment. You will come in for regular check-ups so we can make precise adjustments. Depending on your case, treatment time typically ranges from 12 to 24 months.
Because incognito braces are fixed, they offer continuous results without needing daily intervention. They are an appealing alternative to removable aligners or fast braces.
Behind‑the‑Teeth Power: SureSmile Wires
SureSmile Wires are our signature, robotically customised archwires. When paired with Incognito brackets, they deliver:
- Up to 40% faster tooth movement on average
- Ultra‑precise control for complex alignment
- Lower, consistent forces for greater comfort
- Fewer in‑office adjustments thanks to digital planning
This makes our lingual braces the fastest and most predictable invisible option in Melbourne.
Integrating Consultation Day Aligners
While Incognito braces excel at hidden, complex corrections, some patients prefer a removable option. That’s why we offer Consultation Day Aligner Start (CAS) across all our aligner‑referencing pages:
- Begin Day 1: Scan your teeth, and leave with your first custom‑printed clear aligner set that same day.
- Graphy Direct‑Print Technology: Shape‑Memory resin trays deliver superior fit, fewer attachments and longer‑acting forces compared to conventional aligners (Invisalign®, Spark™, etc.).
- CAS conditions: Initial aligners only; simple to moderate cases; premium CAS fee; subject to availability.
Are Incognito Braces Right for You?
Incognito braces are suitable for most teens and adults with moderate to severe orthodontic needs. They are especially beneficial if you need full treatment but prefer to avoid the look of traditional braces or aligners.
They are also a good option for people who cannot remove aligners throughout the day or do not want visible trays during meetings, events or public-facing roles.
During your consultation, we will help you compare options, including Damon Clear Braces or clear aligners, and guide you toward the right solution for your needs, preferences and goals.

What makes Incognito braces different from clear aligners?
- Fixed vs. removable: Incognito braces work continuously; aligners require daily wear/disciplined removal.

- True invisibility: Brackets and wires are completely hidden behind teeth, and aligners sit in front.
