Lingual Orthodontics

FORESTADENT Solutions Lingual Technique

Discreet Treatment with Exceptional Comfort

Lingual orthodontics is a subtle and aesthetically pleasing treatment option, where brackets are attached to the back of the teeth. It is particularly popular among patients who seek a discreet solution while maintaining the benefits of modern orthodontic techniques. Ideal for adults and professionals, it provides a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces.

Your advantages

Aesthetics

Lingual brackets are not visible because they are bonded to the back of the teeth. This makes lingual orthodontics particularly suitable for patients, such as professionals or people in public, who want to undergo orthodontic treatment discreetly.

Biomechanics

Positioning the brackets near the center of resistance of the teeth enables more precise control over tipping and rotational movements, offering significant advantages for correcting specific tooth misalignments.

Adaptability

The lingual technique can be used for both simple and complex tooth misalignments, provided that the appropriate systems and techniques are mastered.

No interference with the lips

Since the brackets are placed on the inside of the teeth, there is less friction and irritation to the oral mucosa and lips.

Motivation through rapid results

Patients frequently notice initial improvements more quickly, which boosts their motivation throughout the treatment process.

This you must consider Challenges

Challenge 1

Complex handling for clinicians

Positioning the brackets on the inside of the teeth requires experience and skill when working with the mirror. Access is restricted, which can make bracket placement and archwire insertion more difficult.

Challenge 2

Higher costs

Lingual treatments are usually more expensive than conventional methods, as the brackets often involve high laboratory costs, and the work involved in the treatment is more extensive.

Challenge 3

Familiarization for the patient

The proximity of the brackets to the tongue can initially lead to an impairment of pronunciation. Especially in the first few days, there may be irritation and pressure marks on the tongue and problems with pronunciation.

Challenge 4

Longer chair times

While the unique mechanics of the lingual technique and the use of a mirror may result in slightly longer chair times, this approach offers precise and effective results that make the extra time well worth it.

Challenge 5

Limited range of indications

Not all misalignments can be optimally treated with the lingual technique, especially complex cases with very high biomechanical requirements.
