What Makes InBrace Different from Other Treatments?

Here’s what makes InBrace stand out:

Patients love that InBrace offers an effortless way to work toward a confident smile. But how does it actually work? Let’s break down the process next.
How Does InBrace Work?
InBrace offers a hassle-free way to straighten teeth without the visibility of traditional braces or the daily maintenance of clear aligners. Dr. Diana Bozner at Camellia Orthodontics customizes each treatment using advanced digital technology, ensuring a precise and efficient process. Here’s how InBrace works:
Custom Digital Scan
A 3D scan captures the exact positioning of your teeth, creating a blueprint for your treatment. This scan allows Dr. Bozner to create a precise treatment plan tailored to your dental structure.
SmartWire® Technology
The system uses AI-driven software to design a personalized SmartWire® that gently moves your teeth into place over time. This pre-programmed wire eliminates the need for frequent manual adjustments.
Behind-the-Teeth Placement
The brackets and SmartWire® attach to the back of your teeth, making them completely hidden from view. This setup allows for a discreet treatment that doesn’t interfere with your daily life.
Continuous Adjustment
Unlike traditional braces, InBrace automatically applies the right amount of pressure without the need for frequent tightening appointments.
With InBrace, teeth shift naturally without the hassle of changing aligners or worrying about brackets being visible. Next, let’s explore who makes a good candidate for this treatment.
Who Is a Good Candidate for InBrace?
InBrace is designed for patients looking for a discreet, low-maintenance orthodontic solution. Dr. Diana Bozner at Camellia Orthodontics evaluates each patient to determine if InBrace is the right fit based on their orthodontic needs and lifestyle. Here’s who benefits most from this treatment:
- Adults and Teens Wanting a Hidden Option – If the idea of visible braces or aligners doesn’t appeal to you, InBrace keeps your treatment completely out of sight.
- Busy Professionals and Students – With fewer adjustments and no need to remove trays before eating, InBrace is ideal for those with packed schedules.
- Mild to Moderate Alignment Needs – InBrace effectively treats spacing issues, crowding, and bite concerns, making it a great alternative to clear aligners or traditional braces.
- Patients Who Struggle With Compliance – Since InBrace is fixed in place, there’s no risk of forgetting to wear it like removable aligners.
Not sure if InBrace is right for you? Dr. Bozner and the team at Camellia Orthodontics in Lafayette and Opelousas offer consultations to assess your needs and discuss the best treatment options. Next, let’s look at how InBrace compares to other orthodontic treatments.
How Does InBrace Compare to Other Orthodontic Treatments?
Choosing between orthodontic treatments depends on lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and dental needs. Dr. Diana Bozner at Camellia Orthodontics helps patients in Lafayette and Opelousas understand the differences to find the right fit. Here’s how InBrace stacks up against other options:
Versus Traditional Braces
Unlike traditional braces with visible brackets and wires, InBrace is placed behind the teeth for a completely hidden experience. It also requires fewer adjustments, making office visits less frequent.
Versus Clear Aligners
InBrace offers the invisibility of clear aligners without the hassle of removing trays before eating or remembering to wear them 22 hours a day. The fixed design means it’s always working, with no risk of misplacing it.
Versus Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces blend in with teeth but are still visible. InBrace provides the same effective results without the worry of brackets staining or standing out in photos.
Dr. Bozner ensures each patient at Camellia Orthodontics receives a treatment plan that aligns with their goals. Now, let’s break down what patients can expect during their first few weeks with InBrace.
What to Expect in the First Few Weeks with InBrace
Adjusting to InBrace takes a little time, but most patients find the transition smoother than expected. Dr. Diana Bozner and the team at Camellia Orthodontics in Lafayette help patients navigate the early stages of treatment with confidence. Here’s what to keep in mind during the first few weeks:
- Mild Speech Adjustments – Since InBrace sits behind the teeth, the tongue may need time to adapt. Some patients notice a slight lisp initially, but with regular speaking, the tongue adjusts within a week or two.
- Eating Feels Different at First – Unlike clear aligners, there’s no need to remove InBrace before meals. However, softer foods may be more comfortable for the first few days as the mouth gets used to the brackets.
- Oral Hygiene Routines Matter – A water flosser and interdental brushes can help keep food particles from getting trapped behind the wires, making cleaning easier and more effective.
Dr. Bozner provides each patient with personalized tips to make the adjustment period as smooth as possible. Once the initial phase is behind you, InBrace becomes a seamless part of everyday life.
