About DW Lingual Systems

DW Lingual Systems GmbH develops and manufactures the WIN appliance in Bad Essen, a fixed lingual brace that is placed on the inner side of the teeth and is invisible from the outside. The core of production is a computer-controlled bending process: bending robots fabricate individually shaped archwires for each patient with millimeter precision. This allows even complex malocclusions to be corrected in a controlled and predictable manner, as the appliance can apply force to both the crown and the root of the tooth. The ultra-flat design of the appliance is engineered for maximum wearing comfort. The company also operates a certification and doctor-locator network for orthodontists and supplies the WIN appliance to numerous countries worldwide. The company is registered as a GmbH with the district court of Osnabrück (HRB 205686).
