Bringing the Face Philosophy to the world of aligners
After studying the strengths and limitations of each aligner system on the market, we have concluded that a new aligner system needed to be developed in order to achieve our FACE treatment goals.
Advantages of FAS
The great advantage of FAS is to treat the patient taking into account the way they chew and placing the teeth in harmony with their joints. In this fashion we obtain the aesthetic, functional and stability goals. Achieving these treatment goals gives us longevity and long-term treatment results.
Another great advantage of FAS is the use of innovative materials adapted to each stage of treatment that optimizes “tracking” and reduces treatment time. From diagnosis and planning to manufacturing with the FORESTADENT seal of quality.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.

Why FAS?
- FAS takes into account all the treatment possibilities of each particular case. It also takes into account all possible limitations in correcting tooth malposition, thus avoiding poor planning and being more efficient in planning.
- FAS diagnoses and plans on the real hinge axis of the patient.
- FAS takes into account periodontal limitations. A traditionally important goal in the FACE treatment philosophy is periodontal health. The key feature to achieve this goal is placing the roots in the alveolar bone at the end of treatment
The importance
of diagnosis
The key to a good result is based on an accurate diagnosis. The management of the vertical dimension is one of the aspects of the diagnostic process that distinguishes FACE and is of utmost importance to obtain an aesthetic and functional result. FAS takes into account the vertical dimension.
Another important element for an accurate diagnosis is to take into account the roots of all the teeth in the three planes of space. Again, FACE differentiates itself by locating the roots in the alveolar bone in each treatment plan. This is a decisive element to obtain the objective of periodontal health, knowing the limitations of tooth movements, the efficiency of orthodontic correction and a decisive factor for the stability of the final
result. FAS takes all the details into account!
Diagnostic elements
Precision in diagnosis has been and is a hallmark of the FACE philosophy and is the basis on which FAS quality is based. We plan in 2D, 3D and 4D
