So far so good. I have the Lingual on top and traditional metal on bottom. Im 23, and getting braces was embarrassing but fixing my smile was the most important thing iI wanted for myself. I started making a vlog of my journey with my braces for anyone interested in braces, or lingual, or anyone who is an adult looking for support. I am very happy with the braces i choose bc they are hardly notcible. I just still need to get use to them and learning how to articulate better with them.

Its been three months, and I have updated with a few videos on my Youtube channel. I didnt get the incognito, but have the Lingual which are very similar. I am amazed with how much my teeth improved and shifted. Im very happy with my experience so far. Another update will be up very soon!

Great review?

How did your mouth feel afterwards? My daughter wants to get htem but I'm concerned she'll be in a lot of pain afterwards

My teeth were sore, but its bearable. I think with any type of braces youll experience soreness bc your teeth are being pulled and moved. Tylenol helps me when I need it, but its nothing I cant handle or any average person.

Ok thanks! I had heard that the lingual braces were worse because they tore up the inside of your mouth, it this true? Or is it just painful in the teeth like regular braces?

Thank you for your post! I'm getting mine on in may and trying to learn as much before hand as I can. I'm 23 as well and have known I've needed braces since 12 but never wanted them to show. They are going to cost a lot but I'm glad to see other people enjoying their results and saying the pain is not crazy. Keep giving updates! My 2 year journey starts soon!!

Thanks for the video, I had my incognito fitted (top and bottom) 2.4.2013 (4.5 weeks ago), day 1 was fine, day 2 was mega lithpy (lol) sore and my tounge was all sore, I had a sticky out wire by an extraction site so once that was taken care of on day 2 I was good to go! The tounge soreness subsided after around 3 days, my lisp only occurs when I say the word 'lisp' and my teeth have already moved! Day 2 was achey and upon inspection I realized my front two teeth had straightened a little, today is the second time I'm feeling the achey and someone commented my teeth looked straighter. So far so good, looking forward to my first adjustment in 2 weeks! Would highly recommend these braces to anyone unhappy with their smile! Pros: hidden, barely notice them, changes are noticeable. Cons: expensive (worth it), tounge sore for few days, lispy for a week then on and off subtle, difficult to floss. Ps I'm 30y/o X

Thank you so much for posting a video with your review!

I loved when you showed us what the lingual braces actually looked like using the mirror.

Now that you have had a few more days to get used to the braces, how are you doing with them?
