What Are Custom Braces?
LightForce braces represent a revolutionary step in orthodontics as the first-ever 3D-printed, fully customized braces. Unlike traditional metal braces, which are standardized for all patients, LightForce braces are individually designed for each person, offering a personalized orthodontic experience.
Traditional braces often require frequent office visits for adjustments, as they aren’t tailored to fit the unique shape and structure of each patient’s teeth. In contrast, LightForce braces are precisely made for each person, reducing the need for repeated adjustments and minimizing the likelihood of broken brackets.
The LightForce system offers various personalized solutions. With the LightPlan Treatment Software, orthodontists can develop detailed digital treatment plans tailored to each patient. LightTray Indirect Bonding uses 3D-printed trays to ensure accurate bracket placement, and the Cloud and Light Brackets provide customizable ceramic options suited to individual treatment needs.
How Do Custom Braces Work?
At Neighborhood Orthodontics, we use a fully digital workflow, eliminating the need for uncomfortable impressions or plaster models. Instead, a digital scan of your teeth serves as the foundation for creating custom brackets shaped to fit each tooth precisely. These personalized brackets allow orthodontists to have more precise control over tooth movement, leading to quicker and more efficient treatment compared to traditional braces.
LightForce brackets are designed to blend in with your natural teeth, being made of polycrystalline alumina for a more subtle appearance. This cutting-edge 3D printing technology ensures high accuracy and provides a personalized treatment solution tailored to your needs.
Why Do We Use LightForce Custom Braces?
- Custom Fit: LightForce braces are uniquely tailored to your teeth, based on a digital scan that enables us to create a treatment plan specifically for you.
- Faster Treatment: Thanks to 3D printing technology, LightForce braces can often speed up treatment time compared to traditional braces, meaning fewer and shorter appointments.
- Fewer Adjustments: The precise fit of LightForce braces reduces the need for frequent office visits, helping you get to your ideal smile with fewer trips to the orthodontist.
- Increased Comfort: Since each brace is customized for your teeth, the discomfort from frequent adjustments is minimized, resulting in a more comfortable orthodontic experience.
