Masri Orthodontics in Livonia, Michigan, is offering lingual braces bonded to the inside of the teeth, including the Incognito custom computer-designed lingual bracket system, as a discreet alternative to traditional braces for adults and teens. The practice, located at 15230 Levan Rd, Suite A, provides the treatment under the clinical direction of Dr. Nawaf Masri.
Lingual braces are placed on the inner surface of the teeth, facing the tongue rather than the lips, so no hardware is visible from the front during treatment. This makes them a clinically distinct option for patients who want orthodontic correction without visible brackets and wires. The Incognito system begins with a digital scan of the patient's teeth, which generates a three-dimensional model. Custom brackets are then fabricated using computer-aided design based on that model, a manufacturing process that takes approximately six weeks. Once the brackets arrive, they are cemented to the inner surfaces of the teeth, and the patient follows a schedule of regular monitoring visits throughout treatment.
The announcement matters because adults considering orthodontic treatment often weigh aesthetics and lifestyle alongside clinical needs. Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires on the outer surface of the teeth, making them visible throughout treatment. Clear aligners use a series of removable plastic trays that are nearly invisible when worn but can be taken out for eating and cleaning. Lingual braces remain fixed throughout treatment and are positioned entirely out of sight, which may suit patients whose professional or personal circumstances make external hardware impractical. For those seeking Lingual braces in Livonia MI, the Incognito system is custom-fitted to each individual's dental anatomy rather than adapted from standard bracket sizes, distinguishing it from some other lingual approaches.
Masri Orthodontics serves both adults and teens and offers multiple discreet treatment paths, including braces for adults in Livonia MI in both lingual and clear-aligner formats. This range means treatment choices can be matched to a patient's daily routine, occupation, and aesthetic preferences during the correction period. The availability of lingual braces expands the options for adults in the metro Detroit area who might otherwise delay or avoid orthodontic care due to concerns about visible hardware.
Dr. Nawaf Masri oversees treatment planning and clinical care at the practice. Patients interested in learning whether lingual braces or clear aligners are appropriate for their specific case can contact Masri Orthodontics directly at (734) 261-8860 to schedule a consultation at the Levan Road office.
