Braces in a short time revolutionized orthodontics. Until recently, many of us did not even know the names, or how the braces look, and now they are so spread that even the most little known of them are considered fashionable.
Among them, the Germanic quality of the Forestadent lingual brackets stands out, which has already gained popularity.
In Russia this company became known for its lingual braces, as well as in 70 countries where the company's products are delivered.
The quality of Forestadent products is due to the company's long tradition. Having created its first brace in 1979, it became the leading manufacturer in its field. The company is constantly improving, recently it patented the innovative convenient bracket base, which additionally guarantees the reliability of fixation.

Design features
Lingual braces, unlike vestibular braces, attach to the lingual( inner, hence the name) side of the teeth, so they remaininvisible to others. This method is recognized by orthodontists as the most aesthetic of all the methods of treatment with the help of non-removable systems.
One of the disadvantages of lingual systems is a slight decrease in the internal part of the oral cavity. At first, a person may experience some discomfort, which can affect diction. After a while, more often - 2-3 weeks, the patient adapts to a new size of the oral cavity.
Forestadent lingual braces are an accurate hit if you need comfort. It is low( from 1.3 to 1.65 mm), with rounded corners and polished surface braces, which are almost not tangible throughout the treatment. The new 3rd generation 2D series lacks the disadvantage of discomfort and speech change after installation.
2D series are represented by the following types of products:
- products equipped with a T-hook for use with an elastic chain;
- lingual structures in which the groove is partially made square for improved attachment of individual teeth;
- mini lingual bracket was created especially for such a defect as a strong crowding of teeth, so it is especially small in size;
- lingual lock-tube for the 1st and 2nd molars.
Such products guarantee the delicate treatment of various bite disorders.
Advantages and disadvantages of
Braces of Forestadent have their pros and cons. Among the positive sides we can distinguish the following:

Negative aspects of installing Forestadent lingual brackets:

- features oral care;
- , there are several contraindications for use: periodontitis, a complex of functional disorders of the temporomandibular joint;

Long decided on such a responsible in all respects step. It was difficult for me to overcome myself, because I was afraid that the treatment would disappoint me. But everything turned out to be, like in a dream: a cozy clinic, an attentive and professional doctor! I still have braces for about six months, but the result is already there!

What kinds of products do
produce? Lingual braces are produced in two ways: individually or standard. Individual systems are manufactured using 3D modeling using high-precision casting. Such designs are smaller and more convenient than conventional ones, but significantly more expensive because of the laborious procedure for their manufacture.
2D Forestadent system can correct not every pathology of occlusion, it can not correct complex abnormalities, but it is easy to correct the location of teeth. With this task, the 2D system copes 100%.
BioQuick brackets are metal self-ligating ligature-free braces. Their main advantage in the low profile( less height of the front teeth) and an ideal fit.
From other advantages it is possible to allocate the following:
- the new design of a clip, it is wider and more powerful, if it is necessary to change, it is possible quickly and without problems to make it;
- reduced profile;
- jamming of the arc and attenuation of friction is achieved by the presence of 4 contact points;
- the best fixing is provided by a monolithic body of locks;
- fit and anatomical braces are provided by examining the teeth of 4000 patients;
- simplified way of manipulation: lightweight bracket design with an additional groove to simplify its opening from the gum side;
- convenient locks for molars are equipped with a clamp, which makes the treatment more rapid.
The process of manufacturing and installation of
Orthodontists know that the installation of lingual braces is much longer and more difficult than vestibular braces. Sometimes it is necessary to prepare and install a separate clip for each tooth. The doctor goes for it for the sake of the patient's convenience.
Initially, a person undergoes a sanation of the oral cavity, since correction of the occlusion can last from 6 months to one and a half years. For the treatment to be comfortable, it is necessary to eliminate all the shortcomings, if any. Since the installation of braces on the patient's teeth is prohibited, the patient is sealed with teeth, caries are treated and teeth are cleaned from the stone.
After this, it is necessary to take an X-ray to see if the treatment is effective.
The doctor then makes a cast of teeth to use it to make the bracket system. At the same time, the arc is performed on special machines to avoid mistakes.
The next stage can take about three hours. Pre-overlap only on the lower jaw, and after 2 weeks - on the upper. Such a gradual establishment of the system will provide habituation and convenience in conversation and eating.
In the future, the patient visits the orthodontist another 6-8 times, and after removing the design, it will take another 6-6 months to wear a special kappa to fix the result.
Cost of correction
Of course, prices depend on many factors, but we will try to estimate approximately in what amount the installation of the bracket-system Forestadent will cost.
The braces themselves will cost from 25 thousand to 120 thousand rubles. Consultation, X-ray, sanation and ancillary examination will cost from 7000 to 50 000 rubles. Installation, adjustment, removal and retainers - from 25 thousand to 80 000 rubles. Total: approximately from 57 000 to 250 000 rubles.
