Lingual orthodontics is preferred by patients who attach great importance to their aesthetics, since it is the only 100% invisible method.
Incognito brackets – developed by the company 3M – represent a breakthrough among all orthodontic treatments, as they offer clearly differentiating characteristics compared to others.
Since we have already discussed the numerous advantages of Incognito lingual orthodontics in previous articles, we will now simply remind you of some of these benefits.
How to find a specialist in Incognito lingual orthodontics?
Here is what you should look for when choosing the best orthodontist to plan your treatment with lingual braces.
1. Qualification by 3M
As we have already mentioned, Incognito orthodontics is developed by the 3M company.
Since this system is different from other brackets, this brand requires orthodontists who want to use it to have a special qualification.
That is, specialists must undergo an education and training procedure before treating patients with Incognito brackets.
Therefore, the first requirement for finding the best specialist in lingual orthodontics is that he/she is accredited by 3M to carry out the treatment.
In our dental clinic, all orthodontists have this accreditation. Therefore, any of them is qualified to plan your treatment with Incognito orthodontics.

2. Orthodontic Specialist
Although 3M allows any dentist to obtain such training, it is our belief that orthodontic treatment of any kind should only be performed by an orthodontic specialist.
That is, this belief applies not only to Incognito braces, but also to other types of orthodontics, such as Invisalign, traditional metal braces or sapphire braces.
This is because dentistry is a very broad field and not all dentists can perform all treatments with the same success.
Therefore, we consider that the best specialist to carry out lingual orthodontic treatment is a dentist who meets two conditions:
Has completed an official master’s degree in Orthodontics.
He/she practices the specialty of Orthodontics exclusively.
In our dental clinic, all the orthodontists have completed the Official Master’s Degree in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the Complutense University of Madrid, which lasts three years.
In addition, they are exclusively orthodontists. This means that they do not perform any other dental treatment.
The fact that they are dedicated solely to orthodontics makes them highly experienced in the procedures they perform.
Always choose a dentist who specializes in orthodontics and is dedicated to it exclusively.
3. Constant and updated training
Once we have spoken of the importance of specialization, it should be noted that continuous training is equally essential.
The Incognito system has a large technological component. This means that its technology advances very quickly and that it is essential to keep abreast of the latest developments carried out by 3M.
Therefore, a professional working with lingual brackets should regularly attend conferences or training courses on the Incognito technique, as is the case of the orthodontists in our clinic.
4. Technological means
Finally, a specialist who carries out Incognito orthodontic treatment should have a 3D intraoral scanner.
This scanner provides both comfort for the patient and speed when starting treatment.
This is because, on the one hand, the scanner replaces the classic traditional impressions, which consist of introducing a mold into the patient’s mouth to obtain a recreation of his or her teeth.
For many people, these impressions are very uncomfortable and cause gagging.

On the other hand, the three-dimensional intraoral scanner greatly speeds up the start of treatment.
This technology allows digital impressions to be sent to the Incognito laboratory for the brackets to be fabricated.
Without a 3D intraoral scanner, the clinic would have to send physical shipments to Germany, where the laboratory is located, with the consequent time delay.
In addition to this, it is important that the clinic has sufficient equipment to perform a complete orthodontic study, which is required regardless of the treatment chosen.
Most dental clinics do not have the necessary equipment to carry out such a study.
However, at Ferrus &ratos, in addition to having the 3D intraoral scanner, we can perform any test without you having to travel to other centers.
Now that we have offered you the elements that, in our opinion, you should consider when choosing the best specialist in lingual orthodontics, we hope we have helped you.
Whatever your choice, it is essential that you have complete confidence in the professional who is going to plan the treatment.
This, together with other factors, will determine the success of your orthodontic treatment.
