Incognito Lite: 2 Months in and Seeing Major Progress! - Richmond, VA

WORTH IT$5,000
I got incognito lite (upper and lower 6 teeth), and have no complaints so far. When I first got them on, I had mild pain/discomfort for a few days, but saw progress within a week. I also have a day of discomfort after tightening, but it's not even bad enough to take Tylenol. Eating was more difficult at first, but within days, I was pretty used to it. I still can't bite into anything tough with my front teeth (I'll cut it up first) but chewing isnt a problem at all. I also have a small lisp, which was most present at the beginning of treatment and after tightenings, but honestly it's much better than I was anticipating. Close friends and family could hear the speech difference after I told them I had incognito, but no one else has mentioned it or seems to have noticed.

Pros: immediate progress, same cost (for me) as Invisalign, no visible difference

Cons: slight lisp, takes longer to eat.

Photos are: day of installation, 6 weeks in (first tightening), and two months in

Dr Horsey is so nice! I have seen him at my consultation and both visits so far. Office staff is great and the techs are so friendly and professional. A few of them are currently receiving orthodontic treatment.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We don't have a lot of information about this treatment on RealSelf. Can I ask what made you choose this option over Invisalign?

I have had braces before and had clear retainers. The problem was I would remove the retainers in my sleep. I was worried if I got Invisalign that I wouldn't be able to comply with the 22+ hours a day that you have to wear them

I don't know how you're tolerating the discomfort cause I hate it...my tongue is irritated

How long have you had them? Mine were irritated the first few days. I also only have them on front six teeth bottom and top so I'm sure if they were on the back teeth, it would be more uncomfortable!

I'm 7 months in, and loving the results even more! I am still going every 6-8 weeks for tightening. I have mild discomfort for about one day, then everything is fine. I can mostly eat everything I ate without braces on, it just takes more time and care. Only downside is that cleaning my teeth takes longer and is necessary basically after any meal/snack. Basically no one notices I have these on my teeth.

Hi, I wanted to know why your cost was only $5,000 it's normally what your doctor charges?
