I thought it would be really useful to share my experience with Incognito braces and let everyone know who might have questions. Main reason to use incognito is that my role involves a lot of public speaking and meetings with clients so only discreet options were considered; as you can imagine, my greatest fear would also be speech problems (I came to terms wth the fact that I had to tolerate the pain).
For the beginning, I decided to take it easy and get only the brace fitted on the top arch - the bottom one will be fitted on in 3 weeks time. I did that so I can get used to them quite quickly before having my mouth full in metal. Good news is that pain or lisp are barely there! I thought it would be much worse but it's actually amazing how easily I could adapt to them. There's also a debate around cleaning them. Yes, it takes more time to clean them but it's not hard at all, as long as you have the right tools (my practice equipped me with all the tools I needed and educated me accordingly).
The hardest part of everything is eating; no, it's not painful at all - it's just awkward. I have a bite problem and now need to re-adapt the way I chew. I eat slowly, but this isn't necessarily bad as I get to eat less.
I am very pleased with Incognito and looking forward to getting my bottom ones fitted.

Hi there. My husband recently got incognitos fitted top and bottom about a week ago. To say he's in agony is an understatement. He's tongue is constantly impaled on the exposed brackets at the ends, his speech is nearly incomprehensible and all his food is having to be blended. Are you able to provide an update on your experience? Like you, my husband also does a lot of public speaking and business dinners so this is quite a problem for him! Your initial experience sounds so different to him. Any info or updates would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Zanadee,
I got incognito yesterday and it's torture. The wires are stabbing my tongue. I am in constant pain and no one can understand me. I also do a lot of public speaking. I would appreciate knowing if this will get better. I don't know if I can take this.
