Forestadent 2d braces - the third generation of lingual systems

If you can only dream of a beautiful smile, an orthodontist will help you make your dreams come true. The use of classic braces has a very unattractive appearance not only in adult patients, but also in children.

Thanks to innovative technologies, patients with orthodontic problems can resort to invisible systems, which experts call 2D lingual braces. Such devices are very popular due to their high aesthetic properties.

The range of different types of braces from the Forestadent company is quite extensive; below we will look at the product catalog in detail.

Manufacturer

Forestadent 2d braces are a system of a world-famous German company specializing in the production of orthodontic products since 1979.

This is one of the best manufacturers in the whole world. Braces, distinguished by German quality and perfection , are in demand in 70 countries, including Russia.

The company is constantly working to develop innovative systems to create maximum wearing comfort, guaranteed results and an aesthetic appearance.

Relatively recently, the company pleased the world with a new discovery - the third generation of 2d lingual braces.

The system is recognized as the most aesthetic among fixed structures, since it is attached to the inside of the teeth (hence the name) and is practically invisible.

Types of mini braces

Mini-braces according to the type of installation are most often vestibular (on the outer surface of the dentition), but there are also lingual models. The metal arch in ligature systems is tied with elastic rings, and in self-ligating systems it is fixed with a clip or latch. The choice of design is made based on the clinical situation with the bite and teeth, financial capabilities and patient preferences.

Lingual braces are not installed in cases of severe crowding of teeth and narrow jaws; they are much more expensive in cost than vestibular models, since they are made individually based on dental casts, and the work of fixing and adjusting them is more labor-intensive. And there is no particular point in installing miniature elements on the inside of the dentition; in any case, they will be invisible to others, except that they will provide greater wearing comfort and ease of adaptation.

Among lingual mini-braces, a special place is occupied by individually manufactured Incognito systems.

The line of mini-braces is produced by the following manufacturing companies of orthodontic products:

• Ormco (USA) - Mini 2000 Ormco, Mini Diamond models;
• American Orthodontics (USA) – Mini Master, Mini Master LP models;
• Dentsply GAC (USA) – MicroArch model;
• 3M Unitek – Victory model;
• Forestadent (Germany) – models Micro Sprint, Mini Sprint, Mini Mono;
• Experience (Germany) - Mini metal model of self-ligating type.

Each of the models has certain advantages and has its own characteristics; the price range for different brands is quite large. Any orthodontist has his own preferences in the models and manufacturers that he works with and recommends to clients.

Prices for miniature braces can vary significantly in different clinics and regions; on average they cost $500-800 per jaw, excluding the doctor’s work on installing, maintaining and removing the system.

Indications

The Forestadent 2d orthodontic system is quite versatile. Indications for installing this design are:

• deep bite;
• prevention of abnormal bites;
• change in the incorrect position of the bony skeleton of the oral cavity.

But the main direction of creating a system is considered to be the fight against deep bite. The problem is quite common when the teeth of the upper row almost completely overlap the lower elements.

The anomaly can lead to serious consequences, including impaired breathing, speech, and injury to the oral mucosa.

Forestadent 2d systems will help correct the situation in the shortest possible time.

Features and Benefits

Bite correction lasts more than one month. And therefore, it is important during such a period that wearing an orthodontic device is as comfortable as possible.

It is also important that the patient does not feel awkward when smiling and talking, that is, that the device is not conspicuous.

Forestadent 2d braces are the flattest in the world today. They have a low height and a polished smooth surface, which makes them very comfortable to feel. That is, the feeling of the presence of something foreign in the mouth is practically reduced to zero. And this is far from the only advantage.

This orthodontic device features:

• very convenient use due to the self-ligating wings of the bracket; you can adjust the system yourself using clamps;
• as comfortable as possible , tongue in normal position;
• diction is not impaired due to the internal location of small locks;
• excellent biomechanics for tilted or rotated teeth, since the bracket is located closer to the center of the tooth;
• there is no need to visit the orthodontist frequently during the treatment period;
• food does not accumulate on the surface of the teeth , it is easy to maintain hygiene;
• made from hypoallergenic materials , including gold;
• a large selection of designs of this type , so you can accurately select the most optimal one for each specific case;
• attached to the inside of the teeth , from here it is not visible to others;
• two manufacturing options. The manufacturer offers both standard products and customized ones;
• have a low cost compared to other orthodontic systems;
• do not harm the enamel , due to the small size and streamlined shape of the structural elements;
• do not injure the oral mucosa;
• are guaranteed to straighten tilted teeth and have noticeable effectiveness;
• can be positioned directly or indirectly.

Review of popular brands of metal braces

The main difference between mini-braces and classic systems is their size.
In all other respects, this is the same orthodontic structure, the principle of which is the mechanical effect of braces and the arch connecting them on the curved dentition. In most cases, mini-braces are considered to be metal structures. Of course, manufacturers produce compact orthodontic systems made from more modern and aesthetically pleasing materials (for example, medical sapphire), but in this case the main principle for which mini braces were developed is lost: more comfortable and discreet treatment for little money.

The sizes of mini-braces are approximately 20 - 30% smaller than those of classical systems, due to which they become less noticeable in the oral cavity, providing higher aesthetics and facilitating hygiene. The main metal elements are made of high-strength steel, which helps maintain the reliability of the structure even at a minimum size.

The braces themselves are distinguished by their special shape and design: for example, one of the most popular models in this segment - Mini Ormco 2000 braces (USA) - has a diamond shape, which is designed to ensure a tight fit and maximum ease of installation. Due to their small size and thin profile, mini-braces are considered less traumatic for teeth and soft tissues, however, it should be remembered that much here depends on the professionalism of the attending physician who will install the system.

The main advantage of metal braces is their speed. The systems allow you to correct bite pathologies in the shortest possible time. The second advantage is the price. The cost of metal braces starts from 20 thousand rubles for installation on both rows of teeth.

It is also important that metal braces allow the use of additional orthodontic means without the risk of peeling off or breaking the structure. We are talking about rubber rods, face arches, mini-implants and springs. All of them are used to increase pressure on one or more teeth and are fixed on braces.

Despite the high efficiency, metal systems have many disadvantages - they are not aesthetically pleasing enough, because the plates are gray in color, the likelihood of developing allergic reactions, and the presence of a metallic taste in the mouth. Modern systems are most often low-profile, that is, they protrude minimally above the surface of the teeth.

1. Damon
2. Alexander
3. In-Ovation
4. Insignia
5. Empower
6. Marquis
7. Master and Mini Master
8. Sprint
9. Orthos
10. Victory

Important! If you have possible allergic reactions to metals, the following designs are definitely suitable for you: titanium Orthos, as well as nickel-free Quick and Sprint.

When compiling this rating, we took into account efficiency, price, prevalence in the Russian market, degree of fixation on the teeth (use of a mesh or porous base to use more adhesive glue), and the presence of low-profile and highly polished plates.

Next, we’ll look at why exactly these bracket systems were included in the rating of the best.

Classic ligature braces of a single design. They are very narrow, so their installation is possible on small crowns and with increased crowding of teeth. Due to its small size, the tension of the arc decreases and becomes more physiological. For the patient, this means no pain or discomfort when teeth shift. The cost of these brands is from 15 thousand rubles for installation on one jaw.

Damon (Ormco, USA)

One of the most popular systems on the Russian market. They are represented by models 3MX (classic braces of the old generation) and Q (featuring smaller sizes and an innovative latch). Compared to the previous model, Q braces are more comfortable and reliable. Both systems are of the self-ligating type.

The Empower Metal model is a self-ligating combined type system. It combines the possibility of using different forces: active and passive arrangement of the arc in metal plates. Due to this, the doctor can fully control the tension force of the connecting arch and the degree of impact on the teeth. Empower braces are one of the most effective self-ligating systems. Their cost is from 30 thousand rubles.

Inexpensive braces made in Italy (from 20 thousand rubles for installation on one row of teeth). They are not very common in Russia, but they are quite effective. They have a low profile and a special mesh base, which ensures better fixation of the plates on the teeth. In addition, the designs provide a beveled base of the groove, due to which the arcs are changed very simply and quickly, without the risk of damaging the plates.

DETAILS: What not to do while wearing braces

Available in two versions: classic metal systems and with a low profile - the “mini metal” model. Both designs are of the self-ligating type. They are distinguished by the presence of a lock clip made of rhodium - a metal that is very hard, does not oxidize and has a steel tint without shine. Thanks to its use, the systems become more durable - the risk of lock breakage is reduced, even if it is opened frequently. The cost of such braces is low - from 25 thousand rubles.

Classic braces made of medical steel. The arches and plates are connected using ligatures. They have a cellular base, which consists of many pores. The plates are low profile, which makes wearing braces more comfortable. Unfortunately, they are not as widespread on the Russian market as other systems of this company. The cost of braces for installation on one jaw is from 25 thousand rubles.

One of the most inexpensive braces systems. Their price starts from 12 thousand rubles for installation on one jaw. The systems are available in a ligature type, and you can even choose the color of the rubber bands. Made from steel, they have a mesh base and smooth edges. In general, these are ordinary economy-class systems, which at the same time effectively cope with their purpose.

HC (South Korea)

The systems of the South Korean brand belong to the economy class. These are inexpensive, high quality braces. They are created according to classical canons without the use of modern technological solutions, which will significantly reduce the price. The cost of installation per jaw is about 15 thousand rubles.

Metal braces “In-Ovation R” and the miniature version “Ovation mini” are of the self-ligating type. One of the most effective braces, the development of which uses innovative approaches: the plates are equipped with a patented base in the form of a three-dimensional mesh and have a very strong clip that holds the arch.

In addition, the designs allow you to easily switch from a self-ligating system to a classic ligature system, which makes them more effective, especially at the last, final stage of orthodontic treatment. In addition, braces use both active and passive technologies. The systems are quite expensive. The installation price for one jaw is from 45 thousand rubles.

These are the only vestibular braces that are created individually for the patient. For these purposes, computer modeling of the process is used, which makes it possible to reduce treatment time and create braces that will completely replicate the anatomy of the teeth. These are very effective systems that allow you to correct even the most complex malocclusions. Provide a self-ligating system. Cost – from 70 thousand rubles when installed on only one jaw.

Self-ligating braces, which are an analogue of the Damon metal system. But they are more affordable - the cost of fixing one row starts from 25 thousand rubles. They are distinguished by a low profile, smooth surface of the plates, and the presence of a microporous base for better fixation on the teeth. They allow you to combine ligation methods - the doctor can freely switch from a self-ligating to a ligature system.

Inexpensive braces from a well-known American company. The cost of installation per jaw is from 15 thousand rubles. They are distinguished by a low profile and maximally smoothed corners. The base is made in the form of grooves, which allows the systems to be very securely fixed to the teeth and also easily removed without damaging the enamel. A decent option for a low price.

DETAILS: How long to wear braces to correct your bite - Oral diseases

Metal braces available in three sizes: classic, reduced and miniature. Today these are the smallest systems, which are highly effective. The company invests quite a lot of money in innovative solutions, so modern technologies are used in the development of these braces.

The plates of these braces are reduced by 30% compared to similar models of the classical type. The systems are of the ligature type. They are distinguished by increased comfort, in rare cases cause allergic reactions (medical steel is used in production), and are equipped with a patented mesh base.

1. relative aesthetics: the main problem with all metal structures is the contrast against the background of white tooth enamel. Despite the fact that the manufacturer focuses on reducing the size of structures, it will not be possible to achieve ideal aesthetics even with the installation of mini-braces.
2. frequent visits to the orthodontist: braces of this brand are ligature. This involves regular monitoring and replacement of rubber bands. In this regard, you will have to visit a specialist at least once a month, and at first (the period of adaptation and adaptation) almost every week.

Flaws

Along with undeniable advantages, the designs also have disadvantages:

1. In some cases, the patient may experience impaired diction during the first week of wearing it. But this drawback quickly eliminates itself.
2. The preparation and installation process takes a lot of time.
3. Not every orthodontist is qualified to offer this type of device.
4. In some cases, the price may be high, since high professionalism of the doctor is required. The complexity of installation on the inside of the teeth is also taken into account.
5. It is not possible to use this innovative system in all cases, as there are contraindications.
6. Sometimes the wearing period has to be extended.
7. Hygiene must be observed.

System installation

Installation of the Forestadent 2d system is not as fast as we would like. However, if the patient’s teeth are all in order, then there is no problem. However, it is rare that someone can boast of good teeth.

Therefore, all diseased teeth are treated first. Teeth that cannot be treated are removed. Tartar also needs to be removed - another problem that prevents you from immediately installing braces.

All these manipulations are carried out because the system will have to be worn for a long time, at least six months, which means that everything in the mouth should be in order, without inflammatory processes. The device is not installed on diseased teeth.

After complete sanitation of the teeth, a panoramic photograph of the jaw is taken. This is monitoring that everything was done correctly and the treatment was successful. Then the doctor makes an impression to make a system based on it.

The next step is to install the device. First, it is placed on the upper jaw. The procedure takes approximately 3 hours. And only after a couple of weeks - on the second jaw.

This is to make it easier for the patient to get used to something “foreign”. Later in the treatment process, the patient must visit the orthodontist several times. And after removal, another procedure is carried out to consolidate the result - wearing mouth guards.

Comparative characteristics of modern lingual brace systems

A. F. Verapatvelyan Ph.D., orthodontist, associate professor of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Surgery of Kuban State Medical University N. I. Chechula orthodontist, assistant, graduate student of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Surgery KubSMU A.V. Topolyan , orthodontist, dental clinic “Ross-Dent” (Krasnodar)

Currently, the principles of aesthetics are becoming a priority in orthodontic treatment for both adults and adolescents. “Invisibility” and “transparency” of systems are the main requirements for orthodontic treatment. Improvement of vestibular and lingual brace systems, mouth guards makes it possible to make orthodontic correction as comfortable as possible and less noticeable to others

Orthodontic aesthetic devices can be divided into the following groups:

• lingual brace systems - ligating and self-ligating (2D and 3D);

• mouth guards - manufactured by a technician or in a specialized laboratory;

• aesthetic vestibular braces - ligating and self-ligating.

Aesthetic vestibular braces, depending on the material of manufacture, are divided into composite, plastic, ceramic or sapphire. The advantage of these systems is that they are invisible on patients’ teeth due to the transparency of the materials, although they are one third larger than metal braces.

The disadvantages include their fragility, colorability (with the exception of sapphire braces), and greater friction of the arc in the bracket groove (except for self-ligating systems and braces with a metal groove). Mouth guards are now of great interest due to the fact that they are completely transparent. This makes them more aesthetically pleasing than vestibular braces. They are removable (removed for eating and oral hygiene) and move teeth in three-dimensional space starting with the first aligner. There are many types of mouth guards, which, depending on the manufacturing technology, allow you to treat not only dentoalveolar occlusion anomalies, but also gnathic ones. Treatment with high-quality aligner systems is distinguished by its high cost compared to the vestibular or lingual brace system, as well as the difficulty of influencing the tooth root, which is reflected in the duration of the retention period.

Lingual braces have the main advantage, namely that they are “invisible”, as they are installed on the lingual surface of the teeth. Therefore, enamel demineralization or caries will not appear on the vestibular surface of the teeth during treatment.

The system is non-removable, so the lengthening of treatment due to the loss of the apparatus is reduced to zero, while the root is affected and the teeth move from body to body.

Disadvantages include long adaptation to such devices, from a week to several months depending on the choice of system, difficulty speaking during the adaptation period, difficulty in oral hygiene, eating, and the labor-intensive work of an orthodontist.

But many patients, for whom the “invisibility” of the structure, the quality and stability of the treatment result are important, opt for lingual systems. The development of lingual orthodontics began 30 years ago and has undergone significant changes during this time. Lingual braces have significantly decreased in size and become almost flat; self-ligating braces have appeared, which is especially important when an orthodontist works when replacing ligatures on the lingual surface of teeth.

If at the dawn of their development only minor dentoalveolar deformations could be corrected with lingual braces, now, with the advent of modern laboratories and three-dimensional programmed treatment planning with digital setups, it has become possible to treat any orthodontic pathologies.

Photos before and after treatment with lingual braces

The photographs below show a mild clinical case where treatment with lingual braces lasted 9 months.

For each individual clinical case, after creating the primary model of the patient’s jaws, platforms for individual ready-made braces are made individually. In this case, it is possible to take into account the characteristics of each tooth and ensure maximum adherence of the braces to the surface.

Estimated cost

As already noted, installing invisible braces is quite an expensive pleasure, since the very technology of production of this design, its installation, which has some features, requires not only high-quality execution, but also the appropriate qualifications of the doctor and painstaking maintenance.

This is what determines the high cost of the braces system.

It is important to remember that braces require correction or activation, that is, replacement of arches. The cost of these procedures is not included in the total cost. The approximate cost, in total, is from 130,000 to 530,000 rubles. However, the cost is not final; only an orthodontist can tell more exact costs.

1. For diseases of the teeth and gums, in particular in the presence of periodontitis, periodontal disease, and gingivitis.
2. In the presence of teeth grinding, during sleep.
3. If you are allergic to the components of the structures.
4. In case of deviation of the temporomandibular composition.
5. With short teeth.
6. For twisted teeth or thin crowns.
7. Up to 11 years of age.

Timing and effectiveness of treatment

The Forestadent 2d system is designed to optimally combine treatment effectiveness and wearing comfort. This is especially important, since the treatment period is still considerable - from 6 months to one and a half to two years.

The length of time to obtain results depends on the degree of neglect of the problem, the number of dental defects, the individual characteristics of the body, and the patient’s strict compliance with all the doctor’s instructions.

For example, a light correction of the position of teeth lasts no more than six months. The patient may feel some discomfort while wearing the system. This is a natural process as the device is attached to the back of the teeth.

And although it is small in size, in any case the space in the mouth changes. But practice shows that in the first two weeks everything returns to normal, the person ceases to feel the obvious presence of a foreign body in the mouth. The system fits quite tightly to the teeth.

Only in rare cases is diction impaired in the first week. The period of wearing braces may increase for various reasons; even the doctor will not be able to determine the exact period in advance.

It has been noticed that in young people the alignment of the bite and elements of the dentition occurs faster.

Sprint

For a modern person, it is extremely important to feel confident in any situation. But sometimes just one thing is not enough for this - a beautiful smile. Unfortunately, nature rarely gives us perfectly straight teeth: various malocclusion pathologies negatively affect not only a person’s appearance, but also their health. Incorrectly positioned teeth can lead to abrasion of enamel, gingivitis and other unpleasant consequences. In order to avoid them, it is enough to consult a doctor in a timely manner to install a braces system.

Children's dental clinic "MARTINKA" offers services for installing Sprint braces at an affordable cost. Make your smile truly attractive!

Sprint braces differ in their manufacturing technology. No welding is used in their production: the monolithic structure is made by powder compression. This allows not only to eliminate the risks of possible metal oxidation during operation, but also to increase the strength of the system while simultaneously reducing its weight. As a result, patients who decide to install Sprint braces can forget about allergic reactions and inconvenience.

Advantages of Sprint braces

Secure fixation

. Improved hook-shaped grips on the base of the bracket provide good attachment. You can be sure that the dental correction system will remain in the places where the doctor attached it until the end of the entire treatment period.

Wearing comfort

. Forget about the design that rubs the oral mucosa. Sprint braces have a smooth outer surface that won't irritate even sensitive areas. Therefore, you will be able to undergo treatment comfortably.

Reduced coefficient of friction

. The surface of the grooves on these braces is rounded and polished, which greatly facilitates the sliding of the bracket. Thanks to reduced friction, the bite correction process is faster.

Features of wearing braces

Few people find wearing metal braces enjoyable. However, you can significantly improve your condition if you properly care for your dentition correction system. In particular, daily treatment with special brushes will not only relieve you of food debris in the mouth and stale breath, but will also prevent the development of diseases caused by various bacteria. Any brace system requires special treatment - in addition to regular cleanings, its owner must follow a special diet. Solid foods and liquids that are too hot or cold can weaken the braces and cause them to peel away from the enamel.

If you want to find out the cost of installing Sprint metal braces or you need to make an appointment with our specialists, call one of the numbers listed in the “Contacts” section. Specialists of the Children's Dental Clinic "MARTINKA" are ready to answer all your questions.

Care

The rules for caring for lingual braces differ practically little from caring for the oral cavity while wearing classical systems.

During the first weeks, you should avoid eating too hard foods to avoid the locks coming off your teeth. Then you can eat whatever you want, but not foods that put too much pressure on the structure.

After every meal, be sure to brush your teeth. You will also need special orthodontic brushes, brushes, and toothpastes. All this is available in pharmacies. You just need to listen to the advice of your doctor.

Duration of treatment

2D lingual systems are incredibly effective. Firstly, they are made of metal, which means that friction between the groove of the plates and the arc is minimized. Secondly, these are “smart” self-ligating systems that independently regulate the force of pressure on the teeth, adjusting it depending on the degree of tooth displacement. The first results of treatment will be noticeable within 3-4 months, even in the presence of serious pathologies. Of course, to completely get rid of the problem, the system will have to be worn longer - from six months or more, on average - about 8-12 months.

The patient will not have to visit the doctor frequently during treatment, since there is no need to replace ligatures. Visits to the orthodontist are reduced to once every 2-3 months to check the position of the braces, replace the arch if necessary, and activate the system.

Prices

Forestadent 2d braces are not a cheap pleasure. The design itself alone costs from 25 to 120 thousand rubles, depending on the complexity of the problem.

A separate price goes for dental sanitation, tartar removal, X-rays, resulting in an amount from 7 to 50 thousand (still depends on the prices in a particular dental clinic).

Then installation, adjustment, removal, then installation of retainers. All this together is another 25 to 80 thousand rubles. In total, the total amount is on average from 57 to 250 thousand rubles.

You should always ask about discounts and benefits. They are provided in almost all dental clinics.

How much do Sprint braces cost?

The cost of installing Sprint braces starts from 20 thousand rubles per jaw. The miniature model costs a little more, but in this situation the price is justified by the improved performance characteristics. It should be noted that Forestadent supplies the market with exclusively high-quality and proven orthodontic products, which guarantee the correction of existing bite problems in the shortest possible time.

Analogs

There are other lingual systems. For example, STB, Incognito, WIN. Despite the common task and similar designs, they still have a number of differences from each other.

STB is a system similar in characteristics to Incognito , but costs much less. It is not as thin as Forestadent 2d braces, but is also small in size. And therefore the process of getting used to this design is also short.

Incognito is also one of a number of invisible systems for correcting bites. The cost is quite high, but the design is made to order. The manufacturing process itself is completely computerized.

WIN – this design is effective even with the most complex forms of malocclusion. The system is comfortable to wear and is also suitable for teenagers.
