Treatment time with LightForce™ braces varies depending on your individual needs, but most patients can expect to wear them for about 12 to 24 months. Because each bracket is fully customized using advanced digital planning, treatment can be more efficient, precise, and discreet compared to traditional braces. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline based on the complexity of your case and monitor your progress throughout treatment to keep everything on track. Treatment is often up to 40% faster than traditional braces.

How LightForce™ Works
LightForce™ braces use fully customized, 3D-printed brackets designed specifically for your unique smile. Each bracket is digitally planned using advanced software to ensure precise tooth movement and efficient treatment. Unlike traditional braces, LightForce brackets are tailored to fit the exact shape of each tooth, allowing for greater accuracy and improved comfort. Your orthodontist places these custom brackets and uses a series of wires to gradually guide your teeth into their ideal position. With this personalized approach, LightForce™ braces offer a modern, highly effective, and discreet option for achieving a beautifully aligned smile.
What to Expect
Using advanced digital scanning technology, we capture a highly precise 3D image of your teeth to design your custom LightForce™ brackets. Each bracket is 3D-printed to fit your unique tooth shape, allowing for a fully personalized treatment plan. Once placed, your orthodontist will use a series of wires and adjustments to gradually guide your teeth into alignment. You will attend regular appointments so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments, ensuring your LightForce™ treatment stays on track and delivers optimal results.
