What Are LightForce Braces?

LightForce braces are the latest technology in orthodontics. They are clear braces that are 3D printed, so they are 100% customized to the patient’s tooth size/shape. Like Invisalign, Dr. Grosso prescribes the tooth movements, and then the brackets are printed exactly to the prescription. The end result is both faster and more accurate treatment! Not only is treatment faster, but the number of visits required to complete treatment is less, meaning less missed school or work!

Benefits

There are numerous benefits to choosing this treatment option, including:

  • More Efficient Treatment – Reduce treatment time by an average of 37%.
  • Fewer appointments – Customized to your teeth and your prescription, so fewer adjustments and fewer appointments at the office.
  • Patient comfort– Low profile with highly contoured edges and smooth tie-wings made with a polycrystalline material instead of metal.
  • Discreet– The brackets are tooth-colored, providing you with a discreet treatment from start to finish

Difference Between Traditional and LightForce Braces

Both types of braces are excellent choices for correcting misaligned teeth, and Dr. Grosso will help you determine which treatment option is best for you. Here are a few differences between the two treatments:

Traditional Braces

  • Stock/prefabricated/one-size-fits all
  • Fixed base shape
  • Predetermined prescription

LightForce Braces

  • Custom base for more precise placement
  • Little to no wire bending, which saves appointments
  • 100% custom
  • Customized prescription from Dr. Grosso
