LightForce 3D Braces

3D Technology, Comfortable Design

At Hughes Orthodontics, we embrace new technology! We also recognized that no two smiles are identical and there is an incredible value to creating a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your unique orthodontic needs.

We are proud and excited to incorporate "LightForce Orthodontics" into our treatment suite. From tooth scan to production, LightForce is the first truly digital system for braces!

Save time

Cut down on total treatment time with LightForce Orthodontics.

Custom fit

The brackets are custom-made just for you, ensuring a perfect fit.

More comfortable

The brackets fit your teeth perfectly, meaning less discomfort.

What is LightForce Orthodontics?

This revolutionary program uses 3D printing technology for Dr. Justin Hughes and his team to create custom-fitted braces for patients in order to achieve the goals of their treatment plan.

LightForce's brackets and indirect bonding jigs are 3D printed, to ensure the precision of digital case setup and patient-specific bracket design is fully realized in the actual applications that will be placed on the patients' teeth.

LightForce Brackets

Unlike traditional braces, which are manufactured with a fixed-base shape, LightForce Orthodontics uses state-of-the-art 3D printing technology to create brackets that are unique to each patient.

  • Standard brackets have to compensate for mismatches between the bracket base and a patient’s tooth shape. LightForce-created brackets can be bonded with a uniformly consistent cement layer.
  • LightForce Brackets are designed with patient comfort in mind. LightForce materials and custom base provide the necessary strength to minimize contact with the soft tissues of a patient's gums and mouth

LightForce Software

LightForce’s simple and intuitive online interface is designed for fast and efficient treatment planning. The fully digital design allows Dr. Hughes to make precise adjustments directly on the 3D model and visualize the impact on the finish in real-time.

Additionally, LightForce's platform allows for the fast delivery of the patient’s custom appliances, with a turnaround time of less than two weeks!

LightForce Orthodontics is changing the face of orthodontics. See how it can change the smile on your face! Contact Hughes Orthodontics today.
