Description
The number of adult patients requiring orthodontic treatment is increasing and the lingual braces compared to braces on the vestibular side of teeth fulfills more their requirements.
The aim of this paper is a presentation of the lingual technique application to patients with midline diastema (diastema mediana) and teeth infraposition, as well as presentation of personal experience and guidance of therapy with this technique by presenting data before and after therapy.
Patients with significant aesthetic problems like midline diastema, frontal tooth infraposition and frontal tooth protrusion have been treated. In these cases was used the direct method of lingual technique with Forestadent 2D and 3D braces.
Patients had no difficulty during the therapy. After treatment, have been achieved very good functional and aesthetic results, and compared to the orthodontic apparatus placed on the vestibular surfaces of the teeth, have been used weaker elastic forces.
The use of the lingual technique has shown success in this type of orthodontic abnormalities and is much more convenient for the patient, as this technique does not interfere with aesthetics, hygiene can be maintained easier, there will be no roughness or loss of brightness of the vestibular surfaces of teeth that often occurs in the fixated apparatus on the vestibular side of the teeth. Some patients have reported mild speech obstacles that disappeared within two weeks.
