How Do LightForce Braces Work?
LightForce braces are a fully customized, 3D-printed system that’s designed to optimize your treatment plan and overall experience. It all starts with a digital scan of your teeth using iTero technology. From here, Dr. Berry will create a digital model of your mouth that will allow you to see what your final results will look like before treatment has even begun. Then, the LightForce laboratory will print your brackets in your choice of either clear or white ceramic. From here, Dr. Berry will apply your braces system, and you’ll be ready to go!
LightForce Braces vs. Traditional Braces
Traditional braces aren’t custom-crafted for each patient. They come in pre-made sizes and shapes to fit a variety of smiles. On the other hand, every one of your LightForce brackets will be designed for each of your individual teeth, fitting their unique shape to maximize your treatment in every way possible, from effectiveness to comfortability. Plus, because Dr. Berry digitally designs your treatment plan ahead of time, your brackets are made with the unique movements he’s wanting to achieve in mind, helping them find a smoother path to their final positions.
The LightForce Braces Process
After our team has taken digital impressions of your teeth and Dr. Berry has designed your treatment plan using LightForce’s web-based platform, the next step will be to wait for your brackets to arrive. Once they do, Dr. Berry will adhere them to each of your teeth and thread the archwire through them. Due to their customizability, you will need to visit our practice fewer times, as you will be able to adjust them from the comfort of your own home. Typically, patients only need an appointment every six to 10 weeks, depending on their treatment plan. Then, once your final results are achieved, we will create a retainer for you to help you maintain your results.
