What Are LightForce Braces?

LightForce braces are a next-generation orthodontic system that uses custom-designed brackets instead of standard, one-size-fits-all braces.

Using digital planning and 3D imaging, each bracket is created to match the unique shape and movement needs of your teeth. This personalized approach helps orthodontic treatment feel more tailored from day one.

🦷 Customized for Your Smile

Every bracket is designed specifically for your teeth, not a generic template.

💻 Digitally Planned Treatment

Your orthodontic plan is mapped out digitally, helping improve accuracy and predictability.

😊 Comfortable & Efficient

Many patients find customized braces feel smoother and more natural as teeth move.

👨‍👩‍👧 Great for Kids, Teens & Adults

LightForce braces can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:

  • Crowded or spaced teeth
  • Bite issues
  • Shifting after previous braces
  • More complex alignment needs

🔄 A Great Alternative to Clear Aligners

While clear aligners work well for many patients, braces are sometimes the better choice — especially for more detailed tooth movements. LightForce offers braces with a modern, personalized approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are LightForce braces noticeable?

    LightForce brackets are designed to be sleek and comfortable. Visibility varies by case, and we’ll discuss what to expect during your consultation.

  • How long does treatment take?

    Like brackets and arch wires are to braces, Invisalign aligners move teeth through appropriate placement of controlled force on the teeth. The principal difference is that Invisalign not only controls forces, but also controls the timing of the force application. At each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move, and these movements are determined by the orthodontic treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system.

  • Are LightForce braces good for adults?

    Yes, the FDA has reviewed our application and in August 1998 determined that Invisalign is exempt from 510(k) pre-market notification.

  • Is orthodontic treatment covered by insurance?

    Coverage varies by plan. Our team will help you review benefits and estimate costs before treatment begins.
