Orthodontic Lingual Brackets 018
Lingual Brackets:
With more number of patients who needs orthodontic treatment special aesthetic demand poses a great challenge for the orthodontist. To overcome the aesthetic dmands of patients, lingual brackets have been introduced in orthodontics as an ultimate solution.
Rhomboid shape of anterior brackets have been designed to increase the interbracket distance.
Premolar brackets have been elongated mesiodistally for better angulation & rotational control.
The STb Light Lingual System delivers superior outcomes efficient, simplified and faster treatment as well as greater patient comfort for all levels of cases. A first in lingual orthodontics, STb utilizes a new passive self-ligation design for dramatically reduced friction and lighter forces.
Developed by two of the leading lingual practitioners in the world, Drs. Giuseppe Scuzzo and Kyoto Takemoto, the STb system comprises the most advanced lingual technology, making it incredibly comfortable for the patient and very easy to use even for clinicians new to lingual
TYPES OF LINGUAL BRACKETS:
1. Beggs Lingual Brackets:
- These brackets are used in Beggs System in the Unipoint Combination bracket, with the slot oriented in occlusal direction.
- Unipoint bracket has a "Gingival Wing" to place elastic modeules on continuous elastic chains
2. Conceal Brackets
3. Stealth Brackets:
- Compact size and smooth contours for increased patient comfort & better hygiene
- Full wire control with increased function
- An anterior vertical slot from anteriors through first molars yiels expanded versatility and treatment options
- Reduced mesiodistal dimensions means greater interbracket distance.
4. STB (Scuzzo- Takemoto- Bracket):
- Most advanced lingual brackets technology
- Incredibly comfortable for patients
- Minimal impact on tongue and speech
- Utilises passive self - ligation design that dramatically reduces friction, and delivers lighter forces.
ADVANTAGES OFSTB (Scuzzo- Takemoto- Bracket):
- Flossing is easier as the archwire is farther from the lingual surface and incisal edge.
- Mesio-distal width of the bracket is smaller, allowing inter-bracket distances
- Rotations can be more easily accomplished as the archwire can be tied tightly to the bottom of bracket slots.
- Torque control is improved
5. Phillippe lingual self - ligating brackets:
- Slots are not available with only first & second order movements are possible.
6. Forstadent 3D Brackets
7. ADENTA Germany Hatto Loidl
8. Polyceramic Self Ligating Brackets
Key Specifications
WHY TO CHOOSE LINGUAL BRACKETS OVER ?
- Facial surfaces of teeth are not damaged from bonding, debonding and adhesive removal.
- Decalcification from plaque retained around labial surfaces.
- Facial gingival tissues are not adversely affected
- Position of the teeth can be more precisely seen when their surfaces are not obstructed by brackets and arch wires.
- Facial contours are truely visualized since the contour and drape of the lips are not distorted by protruding labial surfaces.
- Tongue thrust habits are easily managed too
- Easy for mandible positioning therapy too.
- Intrusion of anterior teeth
- Maxillary arch expansion
- Distalization of maxillary molars
