World's only fully customized 3D bracket system announced at AAO
LightForce™ system allows for digitally-customized braces.
LightForce™ Orthodontics combines state-of-the-art digital capabilities with patented 3D manufacturing processes to create a complete customized orthodontic appliance.
Each bracket is fashioned in real-time, based on the clinician’s treatment plan and the unique makeup of the individual patient’s tooth. The planning software produces specifications for 3D printing braces. The case comes with custom indirect bonding trays to increase speed and accuracy of placement.

“The limitations of one-size-fits-all prescriptions are now gone,” says Dr. Alfred Charles Griffin III, CEO and founder of LightForce. “By enabling orthodontists to design brackets on a case-specific basis, we give them full control over their most fundamental treatment tool. This kind of flexibility has never been feasible with traditional bracket manufacturing methods.”
“Our technology is able to make brackets with the precision and consistency demanded by our profession," Griffin adds. “I’m excited to see where orthodontists take it from here. It’s not about saying here’s how to use it. We want to bring LightForce to the community asking what more can you do with it.”
