Custom Metal Braces, Better Results
How do LightForce™ Metal Braces Work?
LightForce Metal Braces are the world’s first patient-specific 3D-printed metal braces. Unlike traditional bracket systems, every bracket is generated directly from your digital treatment plan and customised for each individual tooth.
Using advanced digital technology, Dr Daniel O’Connor creates a highly detailed treatment plan that maps the exact movements of your teeth from start to finish. This treatment plan becomes the blueprint for your braces, with each bracket individually designed to support your unique orthodontic needs.
The result is a highly personalised treatment experience that combines digital precision with the proven effectiveness of fixed braces.

The Process for LightForce™ Metal Braces
Your Initial Consultation
Book your initial appointment with Solas Orthodontics.
During this appointment, Dr O’Connor and his team will assess your smile, discuss your orthodontic goals and determine whether LightForce Metal Braces are the right treatment option for you. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and understand what to expect from treatment.
Your 3D Digital Scan
Your journey begins with a 3D digital scan of your teeth and bite. This quick and comfortable process provides detailed information to help plan your personalised treatment.
Your Personalised Treatment Plan
Using your digital scan, Dr Daniel O’Connor creates a customised treatment plan that maps out your tooth movements from start to finish. Every stage of treatment is carefully planned before your braces are created.
