Forestadent 2d braces – invisible treatment at an affordable price

Few people have pleasant memories of straightening teeth by wearing braces.

However, specialists in modern orthodontics do everything to ensure that the period of bite correction is as comfortable as possible.

It was for this purpose that I created 2D lingual braces. What is unique about the design, and how much the “invisible treatment” costs, you will find out further.

Manufacturer

In Germany it is a worthy competitor among many manufacturers of high-quality orthodontic products since the 70s of the twentieth century.

In the domestic market, recognition came to the European manufacturer of braces thanks to lingual designs that stand out from others due to the use of the most innovative technologies.

Developments of German specialists are used in 60 countries. High-quality structures are produced not only to eliminate malocclusions, but also to move incorrectly located bone organs in the oral cavity.

And not so long ago, the company managed to patent an innovative base for brackets, which will help increase the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment due to reliable fixation of the system.

A little history

The Forestadent company itself appeared in Germany, in the small town of Pforzheim. The manufacturer is rightfully considered one of the best orthodontic products on the market. The first braces were manufactured in 1979, and they immediately gained popularity. The long-standing traditions that the company uses in its production determine the quality of its products. The company is constantly improving and strives to make its products more reliable. Recently, the manufacturer patented a convenient innovative base for the design of braces, which guarantees additional reliability when fixing them.

Lingual systems are distributed throughout the world and are popular in European countries. A few years ago, third generation braces were released. In addition to correcting the bite, they can straighten teeth. Thanks to the easy-to-use technique, the installation can be performed not only by an orthodontist, but also by a regular dentist.

Classic vestibular on the left, invisible lingual on the right

Indications

Despite the universality of the design, the features of which you will learn further, Forestadent 2d braces have a rather limited list of indications.

The invisible system is suitable only for those with simple pathologies. That is, for those who have minor dental defects.

The main purpose of wearing lingual systems from a German manufacturer is to correct deep bites.

Special case: use in conjunction with vestibular braces

A deep bite is a disorder in which the closure of the teeth is too closed, with the upper teeth completely overlapping the lower ones. In this case, if conventional vestibular systems are used (i.e., those braces that are installed on the outside of the teeth), then there is a danger that the patient will damage the braces on the lower teeth with his upper teeth. True, there is a fairly simple solution to prevent this - installing bite fillings. They prevent the teeth from closing completely. But at the same time they cause discomfort: due to bite fillings, it becomes difficult to chew and bite off food, even soft ones, such as cheese, and the teeth stop closing for a while.

To avoid this situation, you can combine lingual braces on the lower jaw and vestibular aesthetic (ceramic) braces on the upper jaw. This option is both discreet and convenient, and there is no risk of system failure.

With 2D lingual braces, treatment becomes truly comfortable. You don’t have to get used to the inconvenience, and the treatment itself goes unnoticed by others. Any bite problems can be solved simply and quickly.

Contraindications

Installation of Forestadent 2d lingual braces is not possible:

• with an anatomically narrow jaw - the device requires a certain internal space in the oral cavity;
• with significant crowding of teeth or other serious abnormal placement of incisors and molars;
• patients with periodontitis or gingivitis;
• if the height of the teeth is too low , according to technology they should exceed the parameters of the brackets by 1-2 mm;
• with individual structural features of the jaw that are incompatible with “invisible” orthodontic treatment;
• with bruxism and gum diseases , which are characterized by tooth mobility.

In addition, the design is not suitable for patients with serious mental disorders, since the adaptation period may be accompanied by tongue injuries and speech disorders.

Also, Forestadent 2d braces are not recommended for children under 11 years of age.

Features of 2D bracket systems

• lingual type design: involves placement of staples on the inside of the row, based on a self-ligating system,
• manufacturing according to a template: this is one of the few models of lingual brace systems for the manufacture of which computer modeling techniques are not used. Despite such a formulaic approach to creating the device, the plates are in very close contact with the tooth enamel, which is due to the low profile of the braces and the anatomically correct base,
• compact dimensions: small staples less than 1.7 mm in height are practically not felt in the mouth and have minimal impact on speech function, which can significantly reduce the period of adaptation,
• smooth surface: the plates are made of a metal alloy and have rounded corners. At the same time, the surface of the brackets is carefully polished, due to which, when using this orthodontic system, the risk of damage to the soft tissues of the oral cavity is minimized,
• wide model range: the manufacturer offers several variations of 2D braces, including devices with lock-tubes for fastening on first and second molars, compact models aimed at correcting increased crowding, as well as orthodontic solutions with T-shaped hooks and square grooves ,
• minimum wearing period: a self-ligating system involves the presence of metal brackets and an arch, which allows you to achieve maximum efficiency and speed of orthodontic treatment - a pronounced effect is noticeable after three to four months of wearing braces.

Features and Benefits

The main design feature of lingual systems is that they are fixed on the inside of the teeth and remain invisible to others.

Accordingly, their level of aesthetics does not require discussion. The products are the flattest among all manufactured lingual structures and have a self-adjusting arch.

The adaptation period significantly reduces the rounded corners of all elements of the system, as well as their polished surface.

In addition, the height of each bracket ranges from 1.3-1.64 mm, which creates comfortable conditions when using the device.

Among the main advantages of 2d systems are:

• absence of any discomfort during operation;
• the existence of several design variations, which allows you to adapt to the individual characteristics of the jaw structure and the location of the patients’ teeth;
• the material from which the structure is made rarely causes an allergic reaction;
• absolute safety for the oral mucosa and the protective layer of the teeth;
• quick receipt of the first results of treatment - a noticeable effect of correcting the curvature of the dentition is observed after just a couple of weeks;
• excellent biomechanics, which is ensured by placing braces close to the center of the tooth. This trait is excellent for rotated and inclined bony organs of the oral cavity;
• availability – compared to analogues from other manufacturers, Forestadent 2d braces have a low price.

Types of Forestadent braces

• Quick metal braces: self-ligating systems made from nickel-free metal. They are distinguished by their small size, tight fit to the tooth surface and uniquely fast treatment time,
• QuicKlear ceramic braces: an aesthetic bracket system created from translucent ceramics. Available in two versions: made of solid ceramics and with the addition of a metal lock cover. The first is indicated for those patients who want to achieve complete invisibility of braces in the mouth. The second option is suitable for those who would like to reduce treatment time,
• Sprint metal braces: recommended for those patients who want to achieve maximum comfort when treated with metal systems. They are small in size, making them almost invisible in the mouth. The alloy used to produce the Sprint system does not contain nickel. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions,
• Aspire ceramic braces: equipped with a gold-plated metal groove, which allows you to maintain the highest aesthetics, but improve the effectiveness of the impact on the teeth,
• Aesthetic sapphire braces: chameleon systems that adapt to the color of tooth enamel and become completely invisible. There are no metal elements in their design, which brings to the fore the highest aesthetics. However, braces of this brand are not very effective - is their use justified in the presence of minor bite pathologies?
• 2D lingual braces: very flat lingual braces made of metal with a self-ligating system. They have standard dimensions, a low profile, rounded corners and a polished surface. Due to their small size they are more comfortable.

Flaws

Like all orthodontic structures, the products have negative qualities. Among them are:

• installation of the system requires lengthy preliminary preparation;
• during the adaptation period, diction disorders and minor injuries to the tongue may be observed, but these consequences quickly pass;
• not all orthodontists undertake the complex task of installing a lingual system, since fixing the elements of the apparatus on the inside of the teeth is much more difficult than on the outside;
• the period of wearing lingual braces can significantly exceed the duration of treatment with the vestibular apparatus;
• a significant list of contraindications for installing the structure;
• it is necessary to devote more time to oral hygiene.

How to get used to it

How to quickly get used to the fact that there is a foreign structure in the oral cavity? The orthodontic apparatus greatly reduces the free space in the mouth and limits the movement of the tongue. This is reflected in diction, the appearance of scratches and ulcers on the mucous membrane of the cheeks/gums. To reduce the risk of infection of the affected mucous membrane, you need to use sanitization: rinse your mouth with antiseptic solutions, decoctions of medicinal herbs (chamomile, sage, oak bark, St. John's wort, wormwood).

Dental wax, which is used to lubricate the protruding parts of the braces system and the previously dried mucous membrane, reduces the risk of injury. Wax is an environmentally friendly substance and is safe for health.

How to fix a lisp? Speech therapists recommend reading texts out loud so that you can control the position of your tongue. The tongue should be pressed tightly against the palate so that there are no disturbances in the pronunciation of sounds. It's a workout, so put in the effort. After some time, your efforts will be rewarded: the lisp will disappear.

When the pain in the teeth goes away, what causes it? Pain in the teeth occurs due to their displacement. This is a temporary phenomenon and passes quickly.

System installation

Since braces are fixed on the inside of the teeth, the specialist’s work becomes much more complicated. An orthodontist must have a high level of professionalism and a certain amount of knowledge.

In general, the installation process consists of the following algorithm of actions:

1. Taking an impression of the dentition. For this purpose, special dental plaster is used.
2. Creation of a computer model of the jaws and bite as a result of treatment based on the impression obtained.
3. Making a model of the orthodontic apparatus from wax and fixing it on the cast.
4. Production of a system that will be installed directly on the patient's teeth.
   To do this, the design model is filled with plaster, and the wax in the mold cavity is melted. Next, the workpiece is filled with liquid metal. The arc is manufactured using computer technology on automatic equipment.
5. Preparing the oral cavity for installation. At this stage, caries and associated diseases are treated, and professional cleaning is performed, during which tartar is removed. As a rule, this takes at least 2-3 weeks.
6. Installation of the structure. Jewelry work by an orthodontist takes on average up to 3 hours.

Afterwards, the specialist determines the frequency of visits to his office in order to monitor the treatment.

Therapy

How does treatment with a lingual apparatus proceed? Installing them is much more difficult than classic vestibular ones. Access to the inside of dental crowns is limited, and the surface of the crowns themselves can be severely curved. Installing the system in such conditions requires a certain skill and skill of the orthodontist.

The therapeutic course is divided into several stages:

• Preparation;
• installation;
• correction;
• consolidation of the result.

Preparing for treatment is an important part of the overall process. The orthodontist carefully examines the oral cavity, removes stone deposits, and eliminates carious formations (if any). The mucous membrane must also be carefully examined: gingivitis and other forms of mucosal pathology must first be eliminated. At the preliminary stage, the patient must undergo an x-ray of the jaw. This is important not only for more accurate manufacturing of the device, but also for determining the type of orthodontic structure: vestibular or lingual. Not all patients are suitable for lingual braces, depending on the anatomy of the skull.

Installation

This is an important stage on which the quality of treatment depends. If the lingual appliance is installed incorrectly, various complications are possible. The installation process is inconvenient - you have to keep your mouth open for a long time. The procedure usually takes about three hours. You will have to keep your mouth wide open the entire time while installing the braces.

Why does the installation take about three hours? Because the orthodontist needs to install clasps on each molar and incisor. The brackets are attached from the inside, which further delays the installation.

After all the brackets are fixed to the crowns of the teeth, the orthodontist pulls a flexible arch through each of them. Its purpose is to connect the entire structure into a single system. The arc is designed in such a way that it tends to return to its original state (it is pulled out before installation). The arch compresses, dragging crooked molars along with it.

If the patient needs to correct the bite on both jaws, then at the first appointment the orthodontist fixes only the lower jaw. After a couple of weeks, you can install the top one: you will have to be patient again for 3 hours. The practice of installing the system at different times is based on making it easier for the patient to get used to it. If you immediately install braces on both jaws, there will be unbearable pain: the person will not be able to chew food for a long time.

Wearing

How long will I have to wear the lingual appliance until the occlusion is completely corrected? The time depends on the individual characteristics of the patient: the severity of the bite pathology, the degree of curvature of the teeth. If the bite defect is small, treatment can take 6 months. For severe forms of occlusion, treatment lasts 20 months or more.

The patient should visit the orthodontist every month for lingual adjustments.

Otherwise, the patient’s life proceeds as usual, no changes are required. You just need to be more careful about oral hygiene: clean it after every minimal snack. If this is not done, particles of stuck food will become an incubator for the proliferation of carious bacteria. During the day, you can use an antibacterial mouthwash to suppress the activity of microorganisms. At home, you should always clean your teeth with a brush or irrigator. In addition to cleansing, this device deodorizes the oral cavity and treats gums: various medicinal infusions can be added to the water.

Consolidate the result

This is also an important stage of treatment, since without fixation, the corrected teeth return to their usual position. First, the orthodontist carefully removes all the clasps so as not to damage the enamel coating of the molars. This takes a lot of time, just like fixing the clasps on the teeth: the doctor works with each unit separately. After this, the patient is prescribed to wear retainers. These are either staples or mouthguards. The purpose is to hold the teeth in their new position.

How long will you have to wear retainers? This depends on the individual characteristics of the patient. For some, it is enough to consolidate the result in a year, while others will need much more time. Retainers are also placed on the back surface of the teeth, so you don’t have to worry about your smile. Silicone mouth guards are worn only at night and during the day for an hour or two. The doctor selects the devices individually, taking into account the anatomical features of the patient.

Wearing time and effectiveness

The duration of wearing Forestadent 2d braces depends on the severity of the defect. As practice shows, treatment with a flat system takes 1-1.5 years. The adaptation period when wearing a German device passes practically without complications and in the shortest possible time. Quite rarely, during the period of adaptation, patients experience speech impairment, increased salivation, and damage to the tongue.

Patients observe the first positive results of wearing the structure a month after installation.

In general, the duration of treatment is affected by:

• type of defect and degree of its severity;
• patient's age;
• compliance with all specialist recommendations regarding the rules of system operation.

Bottom line

Lingual braces solve the issue of smile aesthetics. This sets the lingual system apart from the range of traditional orthodontic appliances for correcting occlusion. Incognito braces are chosen by people whose work is directly related to a large social circle and whose career directly depends on a well-groomed appearance. However, the lingual system is not suitable for everyone, so you can choose an alternative treatment with sapphire braces or use aligners. The issue of installing a certain type of device is decided by an orthodontist after examining an X-ray of the jaw.

Care

In order to ensure high-quality oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment, you will need:

• an electric brush or a brush specially designed for the structure;
• irrigator;
• thread for cleaning fixed devices.

You will also have to reconsider your diet. As with most orthodontic systems, you will have to forget about eating hard and sticky foods during treatment.

About Forestadent

The German company Forestadent, which produces braces, was founded in 1907. Its initial activity was the high-precision production of miniature products - jewelry, wristwatches. However, in 1974, the company focused on the production of orthodontic structures and eventually took one of the leading positions in this field. Today, Forestadent regularly offers bracket systems with unique innovative elements that provide high-quality treatment for various malocclusions.

The scale of research is amazing!

To develop the patented QuicKlear bracket base, Forestadent used data from the natural surface curves of more than 4,000 teeth from people around the world.

Prices

The cost of Forestadent 2d braces consists of several components, each of which depends on a number of factors. For example, the price of the structure itself (for one jaw) in different clinics in the capital fluctuates between 25-30 thousand rubles.

The stage of preparing the oral cavity for installation, which includes diagnosing and eliminating oral problems, can cost 7-50 thousand rubles, depending on the patient’s medical history.

The cost of a specialist’s work, which includes fixation, adjustment, removal of the system and selection of retainers, costs future owners of a “Hollywood smile” 25-80 thousand rubles . As a result, correcting a turnkey bite using German technology costs 57–160 thousand rubles.

Cost of Forestadent braces

The cost of treatment with German braces is quite high. But this is a reasonable price to pay for excellent aesthetics, efficiency and high comfort. The price of passive metal braces starts from 30 thousand rubles for installation on one jaw. Ceramic or sapphire systems will cost 2-3 times more.

Braces 2D

2D lingual braces from the American company Forestadent have a template design - computer modeling is not used for their manufacture.
They are the flattest lingual braces in the world - they fit as closely as possible to the inner surface of the tooth, are small in size, have smooth corners and a polished surface, making them more comfortable and quick to adapt to. 08/22/20172017-08-22 Site administration+7 (495) 789-39-31Dental treatment hotlineMoscow region

Aesthetic braces

Aesthetic braces are commonly called “chameleons”.
They are created from transparent artificial sapphire and refract light so that they remain invisible on any shade of tooth enamel. The development of braces of this brand belongs to the German company Forestadent, which is one of the ten largest manufacturers of orthodontic products. 08/22/20172017-08-22 Site administration+7 (495) 789-39-31Dental treatment hotlineMoscow region

Aspire braces

Ceramic braces Aspire (Espyer), which are produced by the German company Forestadent, are created from ceramics - a material that is as identical as possible to the natural color of the enamel.
Conventional ceramic braces have one drawback - a long treatment period. But the Aspire bracket system is equipped with a gold groove, which reduces the friction force and allows you to reduce the overall treatment period by 2-3 times. 08/22/20172017-08-22 Site administration+7 (495) 789-39-31Dental treatment hotlineMoscow region

Quick braces

Quick systems are a line of self-ligating braces developed by German scientists from Forestadent to solve any clinical problems.
The range includes classic metal systems of active and passive influence on teeth (for smooth and accelerated movement of teeth). 08/22/20172017-08-22 Site administration+7 (495) 789-39-31Dental treatment hotlineMoscow region

QuicKlear braces

QuicKlear braces (Quick Klea) are a development of German scientists from the company Forestadent.
These are self-ligating ceramic systems - the company’s specialists managed to modify the ceramics, giving it maximum strength, while maintaining aesthetics at the highest level. Braces practically do not differ from the shade of living tooth enamel and are noticeable only at close range. 08/22/20172017-08-22 Site administration+7 (495) 789-39-31Dental treatment hotlineMoscow region

Sprint braces

Sprint braces are classic vestibular systems made of metal. Produced by the German company Forestadent. In this series of braces there are classic ones, as well as reduced sizes for better patient comfort. Most types do not contain nickel, which can cause allergic reactions. Due to this, Sprint brace systems are recommended for patients with hypersensitivity.08/22/20172017-08-22 Site Administration+7 (495) 789-39-31Dental treatment hotlineMoscow region

Analogs

Today there are many identical designs to the Forestadent 2d system on the market. Among the most popular are the following:

1. Metal braces Stb . They are distinguished by their miniature plates and small area of ​​attachment of the main elements, due to which they are practically imperceptible in the oral cavity.
   However, the described advantages often turn into a disadvantage, since the device comes off due to unreliable fastenings to the enamel. The minimum cost of a mini-system is 70 thousand rubles.
2. Win system bracket . The manufacturing process of an orthodontic appliance with thin plates is fully automated, and allows you to adjust the design to the individual characteristics of the jaws of each patient.
   The elastic arch easily changes the angle of fixation. Therefore, an effective system can solve many malocclusion problems. The cost of the design for one jaw ranges from 130 thousand rubles.
3. Incognito braces. Their uniqueness lies in complete computerized control during product manufacturing, which reduces the likelihood of inaccuracies in the parameters of the finished design.
   In addition, in the production of Incognito, an alloy with gold is used, which provides them with reliable strength.

   German-quality devices also have thin plates, have no age restrictions, and are able to correct even the most serious bite problems. Patients are only confused by the high cost (from 200 thousand rubles) and the long production time.

What are the disadvantages of 2D braces?

• quite high price: 2D bracket systems are characterized by a rather high cost, but only if you compare them with other metal solutions of the vestibular type. If we are talking about lingual appliances, then the orthodontic systems in question are almost the most financially accessible devices that are installed on the back side of the dentition,
• risk of developing allergies: braces are based on a metal alloy, which can provoke the development of an allergic reaction. Patients suffering from various forms of allergies should be careful when choosing a brace system in principle.

Reviews

Most owners of Forestadent 2d braces are satisfied with the results. Moreover, treatment with this system is much cheaper than correcting a bite with similar designs from other manufacturers. If you are ready to share your opinion on this matter, leave a comment below the article.

Distinctive characteristics of Forestadent products

• application of advanced developments and technologies: the company closely cooperates with specialists from private dental centers and scientists from many prestigious universities. Before introducing another new product to the world, the manufacturer conducts a series of serious tests,
• wide choice: the company is continuously improving its developments and expanding its line of orthodontic devices,
• unique base: the relief base of each plate allows the use of a sufficient amount of adhesive to ensure reliable fixation of braces on the teeth. On the surface of the base there are special hooks with beveled edges. It is thanks to them that the staples are firmly fixed to the enamel,

“Before agreeing to install braces, I read a huge number of comments on the Internet. Everyone said that ceramic systems are fragile and unreliable, but I still chose them. I work in sales, so I can’t walk around with an iron smile. In general, we installed ceramic braces made in Germany by Forestend. I recommend it to everyone! In four months not a single plate fell off! Although I can even chew an apple sometimes. A very reliable model, and it looks just great! Just what I wanted!”

Artyom, 23 years old, review from otzovik.com

• special shape of the plates: taking as a basis the results obtained during numerous studies, the company’s specialists improved the braces taking into account the anatomical features of each tooth. This made it possible to significantly improve the strength of attachment of the plates to the enamel and increase the level of comfort during treatment,
• a wide range of orthodontic solutions: in addition to braces and their components, the manufacturer also supplies the market with various types of corrective devices designed to correct bite defects - mini-screws to increase pressure on individual groups of teeth, twin blocks, palatal arches and other modern systems.

How long does treatment last?

The duration of treatment largely depends on the material of the braces. However, some innovative solutions can speed up the process of fixing defects. For example, QuicKlear braces have ceramic plates equipped with metal grooves. This feature reduces arch friction, so you will have to wear the device for an average of six months less than any other ceramic orthodontic solution.

Durable metal systems are the fastest - the treatment period is 1-1.5 years. Ceramic braces with metal inserts take an average of 2 years. But sapphire and all-ceramic solutions require more time - 2.5-3 years.
