Masri Orthodontics Brings Incognito Lingual Braces to Livonia, Offering Adults a Truly Invisible Fixed Option

Masri Orthodontics in Livonia has added Incognito lingual braces to its treatment lineup, giving adults and teens in metro Detroit a fixed orthodontic option that is completely invisible from the front. The practice, led by Dr. Nawaf Masri at 15230 Levan Rd, Suite A, now provides Lingual braces in Livonia MI alongside clear aligners and traditional braces, according to the announcement.

The significance of the offering lies in how lingual braces differ from the two dominant treatment paths. Traditional braces place metal brackets and wires on the outer surface of the teeth, making them visible throughout treatment. Clear aligners use removable plastic trays that are nearly invisible when worn but must be taken out for eating and cleaning. Lingual braces, by contrast, are bonded to the inner surface of each tooth facing the tongue, so no hardware is visible from the front, and they remain fixed for the duration of treatment. For adults whose professional or personal circumstances make external hardware impractical, that combination of full concealment and fixed correction is a meaningful distinction.

Masri Orthodontics uses the Incognito system, which begins with a digital scan of the patient's teeth to generate a three-dimensional model. Custom brackets are then fabricated using computer-aided design based on that model, a manufacturing process that takes approximately six weeks. Once the brackets arrive, they are cemented to the inner surfaces of the teeth, and the patient follows a schedule of regular monitoring visits. Because the brackets are custom-fitted to each individual's dental anatomy rather than adapted from standard bracket sizes, they conform closely to the contours of each tooth's inner surface, which distinguishes the system from some other lingual approaches.

The addition matters for the local market because treatment choices can now be matched more precisely to a patient's daily routine, occupation, and aesthetic preferences. Adults considering orthodontic treatment in the Livonia area typically weigh visibility, removability, and comfort, and the availability of multiple discreet paths, including braces for adults in Livonia MI in both lingual and clear-aligner formats, means patients are not forced into a single compromise. Dr. Nawaf Masri oversees treatment planning and clinical care at the practice, which serves both adults and teens and provides traditional braces as well.

The practice directs patients interested in learning whether lingual braces or clear aligners are appropriate for their specific case to schedule a consultation at the Levan Road office. More information about the practice and its treatment options is available at Masri Orthodontics.
