Integrating new technologies in orthodontic treatments, LightForce™ Braces are set to revolutionise the field by enhancing aesthetics, improving efficiency, and reducing discomfort.
LightForce™ Braces: when innovation meets orthodontics
Brace treatments are often dreaded due to their pain and lack of aesthetics. The recommendation of braces is a moment many fear when beginning their orthodontic journey. Traditional braces, designed with a one-size-fits-all approach, never accounted for individual needs and dentition. However, with LightForce™ technologies, this is about to change.
LightForce™ technology is expected to revolutionise the future of braces treatments.
Founded in 2015 by Dr. Alfred Griffin III, LightForce™ Braces are designed using 3D printing, allowing for extensive customization. This new technology enables brackets to be specifically crafted to match the exact contour and shape of your teeth, ensuring a better fit. Equipped with a wire to facilitate realignment, the movement becomes more subtle and gentle on your teeth.
The high level of personalisation of LightForce™ Braces makes treatments more comfortable and faster.
LightForce™ Braces: braces tailored to your teeth for more efficiency, less pain and better aesthetics.
Revolutionising orthodontic treatment, LightForce™ solutions provide significant benefits for those undergoing braces treatment.
Tailored solutions for increased accuracy
Created on demand and designed with a 3D printer, each set of LightForce™ Braces is custom-made to perfectly match an individual’s teeth. This technology allows for enhanced customisation of treatments. From start to finish, treatments are now precisely tailored to meet each person’s unique needs.
Enhanced comfort
Braces treatments are often feared due to their reputation for causing pain. Traditional braces, which cannot be customised to individual needs, are known to cause significant discomfort, sometimes making it difficult for people to eat for days.
Thanks to high customisation possibilities, LightForce™ technology aims to alleviate the discomfort associated with braces treatments.
While it may not completely eliminate pain, as the movement of teeth can still cause some discomfort, it significantly reduces it. With brackets designed to precisely match the shape of your teeth, the pain associated with braces becomes more subtle and bearable. LightForce™ Braces provide more comfort, resulting in a smoother treatment experience.
Fewer appointments
Customised to fit your exact dental structure, LightForce™ Braces require fewer adjustments to achieve optimal results. The treatment works smoothly and continuously, often without you even noticing. With fewer adjustments needed, this translates to fewer appointments with your orthodontist. This higher level of precision and customisation can, in some cases, result in faster treatment times.
Discretion
Designed to match the shape and color of your teeth, LightForce™ Braces offer a more discreet option compared to traditional wired braces. This advanced technology helps maintain self-confidence by making braces less noticeable.
Versatility
LightForce™ Braces are suitable for treating all types of orthodontic issues, from the simplest to the most complex. Their high level of customization and discreet design make them an excellent solution for patients of all ages, from the youngest to the oldest.
LightForce™ Braces treatments at Solas Orthodontics
Always striving to provide the best solutions for your orthodontic needs, we are equipped and skilled to offer treatments with LightForce™ technology. At Solas Orthodontics, our LightForce™ treatment follows a five-step process.
Initial consultation
The initial appointment is designed to establish your orthodontic profile and determine if LightForce™ Braces are the best solution for your needs. Once we have identified the optimal treatment for you, we take the time to discuss it with you and answer all your questions before scheduling your treatment.
Digital scan & creation or your customed brackets
Once the treatment plan is agreed upon, we will begin by scanning your teeth. Using our iTero® scanner technology, the scan of your smile takes only a few minutes. This digital scan allows us to create a 3D model of your teeth, which is then sent to LightForce™ for the printing of your customized brackets.
Let’s get you wired up.
Once the 3D brackets are received, we will proceed with installing them in your mouth. The braces are installed with meticulous care to ensure the best possible experience. Dr. O’Connor and the team will make any necessary adjustments to initiate the treatment.
Monitoring appointments
We recommend scheduling a check-up approximately every eight weeks. During these appointments, we will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Smile 🙂
The complete LightForce™ Braces treatment typically takes between 6 and 15 months but can vary depending on your specific needs. Once your braces are removed, we offer 12 months of aftercare follow-ups. You are now ready to enjoy your new, perfectly aligned smile and renewed confidence in your life.
