When people think of orthodontic treatment, they often picture metal brackets and wires front and center. But what if your braces could do their job without making a public appearance? Dr. Foley and the team at Foley Orthodontics in Cary offer InBrace, a hidden treatment that works quietly behind the scenes—literally tucked behind your teeth. But how does it work? Let’s start with the basics of what InBrace actually is.
What Is InBrace?
InBrace isn’t your typical set of braces—it’s an advanced orthodontic system designed to work behind the scenes, quite literally. Using a customized Smartwire, Dr. Foley places this sleek device on the back of your teeth, where it gently applies continuous force to shift them into place. The Smartwire is crafted based on detailed 3D scans of your teeth, ensuring it fits perfectly and works efficiently.
While the hidden design is impressive, what really sets InBrace apart is how it works to create effortless, lasting results—let’s break down the process next.
How InBrace Works
InBrace may be invisible to the outside world, but behind the scenes, it’s hard at work. The process starts with Dr. Foley taking precise 3D scans of your teeth to create a digital blueprint of your smile. Let’s take a look at the process:
The InBrace Process: Step-by-Step
Step 1: 3D Scanning
Dr. Foley uses advanced imaging technology to capture detailed, accurate scans of your teeth—no messy molds required.
Step 2: Custom Smartwire Design
The scans are sent to a lab where your personalized Smartwire is created, designed to apply gentle, continuous pressure to move your teeth gradually.
Step 3: Placement Behind Your Teeth
Once the Smartwire is ready, Dr. Foley secures it to the back of your teeth, completely hidden from view but hard at work every day.
What Makes It Different
- Self-Adjusting Technology: The Smartwire adjusts itself over time, reducing the need for frequent office visits.
- No Trays or Tightening: Unlike clear aligners or traditional braces, there are no trays to swap or wires to tighten—just consistent, steady progress.
- Always On: Since it’s fixed behind your teeth, InBrace works around the clock without interrupting your daily routine.
While the mechanics are fascinating, the real magic lies in the everyday benefits InBrace offers—let’s explore what makes this hidden treatment a standout choice.
Why InBrace? The Benefits of Staying Hidden
Dr. John Foley and the team at Foley Orthodontics in Cary offer this InBrace for people who want their treatment to fit effortlessly into daily life without extra steps or compromises. It’s discreet, but the benefits go way beyond aesthetics.
What Sets InBrace Apart
- Smile with Confidence from Day One: Since the Smartwire is hidden behind your teeth, there’s nothing standing between you and your natural smile, even while your teeth are shifting.
- No Extra Hassle: Forget about removing trays before meals or dealing with monthly tightening appointments. InBrace keeps working without interrupting your routine.
- Less Time in the Chair: The Smartwire adjusts itself over time, meaning fewer trips back to Foley Orthodontics for tweaks or check-ins.
- Comfort-First Design: The slim, low-profile Smartwire minimizes irritation, making it easy to forget you’re even wearing braces.
- Keep Life Moving: Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee, heading into a meeting, or hitting the gym, InBrace works quietly in the background—no food restrictions, no special cleaning tools, no problem.
Life with InBrace at Foley Orthodontics
InBrace gives you the freedom to live your life without orthodontic treatment taking center stage. You’ll still get the expert care of Dr. Foley, just with fewer appointments and a treatment that blends into your daily routine.
Wondering how InBrace compares to other orthodontic options? Let’s stack it up against traditional braces and clear aligners next.
InBrace vs. Other Orthodontic Options: How Does It Compare?
When it comes to orthodontic treatment, Dr. John Foley at Foley Orthodontics offers options for every lifestyle. InBrace stands out for its hidden design and hassle-free maintenance, but how does it compare to other treatments?
Traditional Braces
Unlike metal brackets and wires placed on the front of your teeth, InBrace is completely hidden behind them. Plus, it requires fewer adjustments, meaning less time in the chair.
Clear Aligners (Like Invisalign)
Clear aligners must be removed for eating and drinking while InBrace stays in place, working 24/7 without disrupting your routine. No worrying about losing trays or remembering to put them back in.
Ceramic Braces
Though ceramic braces are less noticeable than metal ones, they’re still visible. InBrace offers complete discretion, with no risk of staining or breakage associated with ceramic materials.
Choosing the right option depends on your goals, lifestyle, and preferences. Dr. Foley will help you find the perfect fit during your consultation.
