What are Win invisible braces?

This is a braces system hidden from prying eyes. Despite its features, it allows you to achieve lasting results in a short time. The price of invisible braces is higher than conventional orthodontic systems, but if you want to correct your bite without changing your usual lifestyle, then modern invisible braces are exactly what you need.

Peculiarities

Win lingual braces are one of the methods of teeth straightening and bite correction used in aesthetic orthodontics. Such modern structures are made from an impression, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient’s dentofacial system. With this approach, others will not notice that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment using braces.

This system is manufactured taking into account the characteristics of each patient’s tooth, which makes it possible to treat even complex dental anomalies. They are comfortable, practical, and do not rub your cheeks and lips.

Caring for Lingual Braces

Hygienic care of lingual braces has certain differences from cleaning vestibular braces.

The design differences between metal internal braces and the incognito system are that they have flatter and wider bases than their external counterparts. In addition, the edges of the inner braces are smoother and less high, so there is less opportunity for food to get stuck.

However, due to more difficult access to internal braces, the quality of their self-cleaning is lower than that of external braces, which makes caries prevention difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to remove plaque and tartar at the dental clinic once every month and a half, throughout the entire period of your orthodontic treatment.

Home oral hygiene with standard lingual braces consists of cleaning the braces and teeth with a monotuft brush, using brushes to clean the interdental spaces, cleaning the chewing surface of the teeth using a regular brush with soft bristles and the mandatory use of an oral irrigator to clean the sub-gingival area of the neck teeth. Braces on the inside require special care in hygiene.

Braces

Yulia, 29

My entire adult life before treatment with braces was full of complexes about my teeth. It so happened that my profession involves communicating with many people, sometimes speaking at meetings, meetings, and participating in negotiations. So, when communicating with people, at one point I began to notice that they were not looking at me in general, but at my “crooked faces”. People who know what life with crooked teeth is will understand me; they have probably experienced this more than once.

At such moments, when I caught the gaze of my interlocutor or listeners on my teeth, it not only unsettled me, it made me angry at everyone, at myself and at the whole world, and I was lost, depressed, and sometimes completely forgot even about what I was doing. what she said. Sometimes, when I wanted to add something during a conversation, insert some kind of remark, I restrained myself, because it seemed to me that they would not hear me, they would look at me, and they would look into my mouth. Dear readers, do not think that I am an aggressive and crazy woman. I just felt so unhappy at such moments, I felt sorry for myself and angry at the same time for refusing to wear records as a child.

By the way, due to the incorrect position of my teeth, not only I suffered, but also my gums, which bled and hurt. And so I decided one day.

I told myself that I couldn’t do it anymore, that I needed to do something and that I would definitely find the money for it. I found the orthodontist center by chance on the Internet. I went there and got a consultation with Li Victoria Borisovna. I really liked her calmness and confidence that without a doubt we would fix everything. I believed her. There wasn’t even a drop of doubt, and so I put my “crooked things” in her professional hands. Almost exactly a year after the braces were installed, I had them removed and retainers installed. I didn’t even dream of such a period, because I thought that such a disgrace would need to be treated for at least two years. And now, actually about how my life has changed after braces treatment. I didn’t move to another job and didn’t get divorced or married, everything remained the same. Moreover, my relatives generally told me that they did not notice how crooked my teeth were. (By the way, I was only able to say out loud that I have crooked teeth when I already had braces, because I was already talking as if it wasn’t about myself). Mainly my attitude towards myself has changed; to say that I have increased confidence is to say nothing. I became much more sociable, I had a desire to talk more, laugh, smile, and enjoy life.

At the end of my story, I want that if a person doubts whether to undergo orthodontic treatment or not, it means that he does not suffer from his bite and perhaps he does not need all this. But anyone who really wants to change their life for the better should definitely go to the orthodontist and start a new life with this visit!

Many thanks to my doctor Lee V.B.!!

Sincerely, Yulia, Moscow, 29 years old

Advantages and disadvantages

This is the most convenient brace system, with almost no discomfort. It is made in the laboratory taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient’s teeth structure and bite. Such designs align teeth as accurately as possible. They are made from a special medical alloy that does not cause allergies in patients.

A short adaptation period, small size and flat shape make them the best option for installation inside the dentition.

There are few disadvantages, and they are not related to functionality.

In our country, as well as abroad, only specialists who have been trained by the manufacturer in Germany can install lingual braces.
This is an expensive method of orthodontic treatment.
The cost of Win invisible braces is higher than the price of conventional braces. This can be explained by the need to manufacture the structure in the laboratory of DW Lingual Systems Gm bH (Germany).
Manufacturing takes up to 1.5-2 months.

It is for these reasons that the price is more expensive than other analogues.

Types of lingual braces

Today there are many varieties of internal braces from different manufacturers. The choice of devices is quite large, so everyone can find the best option. All of them effectively help eliminate crooked teeth and cope with malocclusion completely unnoticed by others, but each lingual system has its own characteristics. The devices vary depending on materials, manufacturing technology and cost. Let's look at the most popular invisible lingual braces.

STB

Bracket system from Ormco, USA. It has a round shape and is made of metal. The thickness of STB lingual braces is 1.5 millimeters, while they provide precise correction of the dentition and comfort in use. The model does not have the main disadvantage of conventional lingual appliances - large staples on the side of the tongue. STB lingual braces are quite easy to care for, so they are perfect even for children. The device has virtually no effect on pronunciation.

Incognito

An innovative German brace system made from a platinum-gold alloy is manufactured by Top Service based on an impression of the patient’s teeth: first, a 3D model of the future device is designed, taking into account the smallest nuances of the jaw structure, after which the lingual system is produced by milling using special CAD/CAM technology. Invisible lingual braces Incognito are hypoallergenic and ideal for any clinical case.

Win

Another model produced by Top Service. However, unlike Incognito lingual braces, these internal braces are miniature in size and flattened in shape. Standard Win lingual braces do not cause discomfort while wearing and are practically not felt. The system is ideally adapted to the dental surface and is suitable for eliminating pathologies of any complexity. In addition, the improved production technology of the device has made it possible to significantly reduce the cost of the model in comparison with the Incognito lingual brace system.

2D

Modern invisible braces from the German manufacturer Forestadent. They have a perfectly polished surface and a small thickness, which allows you to maintain diction and maintain wearing comfort. Also, one of the advantages of 2D lingual braces is the price, and in terms of efficiency they are not inferior to other models.

In Ovation L

Lingual metal brace system from one of the largest companies in the dental market, Dentsply. Main advantages: accessibility and versatility. The device is made from an alloy of cobalt and nickel and is sold completely ready, eliminating the need for the patient to wait. The In Ovation L system is suitable for those who will experience tooth movement of up to six millimeters.

Orthodontic treatment

First, a dental anomaly is diagnosed to clarify the diagnosis and draw up a treatment plan.
Preparation. Impressions are taken from the teeth, a special form is filled out for the production of the “Win” system in the manufacturer’s laboratory.
Processing of impressions using 3D scanning. Set-up models are made and an individual treatment plan is drawn up.
Installation that lasts up to 2 hours. The inner surfaces of the teeth are prepared, then the braces are fixed with special glue.

Depending on the severity of the pathology, treatment lasts from 1 to 2 years. After the braces are removed, retainers are worn for a while to prevent the teeth from returning to the wrong position.

Discreet treatment

Only one type of braces can be called truly invisible – lingual braces. They are installed on the inner, chewing side of the teeth and are absolutely invisible either when smiling or during a conversation. You can see them only by looking into the wide open mouth. So only you and your orthodontist will know about them.

Invisible lingual braces can be installed from the age of twelve, when all baby teeth have been replaced by permanent teeth.

Lingual braces can be ligature, that is, the arch is firmly fixed in the lock and the braces require frequent adjustment of their size as the teeth are straightened. There are also ligature-free lingual braces, in which the arch slides freely in the grooves of the clasps, and the pressure on the teeth is regulated independently.

Rules of care

There are many photos of people with beautiful smiles on the Internet. To get a positive result, you need to properly care for your teeth after installing braces, namely, use special oral hygiene products. For these purposes, you can use dental floss, dental brushes, mono-beam brushes, and an irrigator.

Use special dental rinses and monitor your mouth to avoid bacterial inflammation. Don't forget to have your scheduled checkup on time.

The excellent result justifies the cost of treatment.

You can get specialist advice and make an appointment with an orthodontist at our Dentistry Center in Moscow by phone.

Which is better: regular or lingual braces?

Compared to vestibular (external) braces, lingual braces have both advantages and several disadvantages:

Aesthetics: even the most attentive interlocutor will not guess that you are undergoing treatment with lingual braces.
Comfort: internal dental braces do not cause damage to the lips and cheeks, as they do not come into contact with them.
Predicted result: the lingual brace system is made on the basis of a 3D model, and the patient can see in advance what his smile will look like at the end of treatment.
Hypoallergenic: systems consist of alloys that do not cause an allergic reaction.
The ability to correct even the most difficult case of deep bite.

Cause increased salivation during the adaptation period.
They may rub the tongue, especially in the first weeks after installation.
Diction is impaired (the problem is solved within a couple of weeks).
They have more limitations compared to the vestibular systems.
Requires more careful adherence to oral hygiene procedures.
They have a high cost.

Most of the disadvantages of lingual braces are conditional, since the prices of the devices and their level of comfort vary among different models of lingual braces.
