Is your custom-braces system truly customized?
While there are some types of braces in the market with custom aspects, created by welding or extra composite, LightForce customized braces are created with 3D-printing technology that results in the only true custom braces system — one size fits one — providing true personalization in 3D bracket technology. By offering 3D-printed brackets that can adapt to every change in tooth position, treatment can be carried out with precision and accuracy. LightForce provides cost-effective custom dental braces that differentiate the orthodontist from the competition.

With seamless integration into already established digital protocols, the LightForce system increases efficiency per case. Because of the customized fit of the 3D-printed brackets, patients need fewer and shorter visits.
