LightForce in Clawson MI

Fully custom 3D printed braces

LightForce System at Clawson Orthodontics

LightForce is the first orthodontic system to feature fully customized 3D-printed brackets. This cutting-edge technology allows us to design your treatment with the end goal in mind, reducing the need for adjustments later in the process and often shortening treatment times.

Instead of bending wires for adjustments, the modifications are built directly into the brackets. These brackets are precisely placed using advanced bonding templates, ensuring optimal accuracy and placement.

On average, LightForce treatment is 4–6 months shorter than traditional braces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do LightForce 3D-printed braces differ from traditional metal braces?2026-06-04T13:14:52+00:00

Traditional systems utilize mass-produced, one-size-fits-all brackets. LightForce uses an advanced digital workflow to 3D-print 100% custom translucent brackets tailored perfectly to the shape of each tooth. This results in fewer adjustment visits and a shorter overall treatment time compared to standard braces.

Are custom LightForce braces more comfortable than regular options?2026-06-04T13:15:09+00:00

Yes. Because the brackets are perfectly mapped out via an advanced 3D scan of your mouth, they exert more precise, gentle pressures, reducing the typical discomfort associated with traditional archwire adjustments.

Can adults choose LightForce custom brackets?2026-06-04T13:15:27+00:00

Definitely. LightForce is a premier choice within our adult orthodontics options because it offers a discreet look alongside faster treatment timelines—ideal for professionals with busy schedules.

What happens if a LightForce bracket breaks?2026-06-04T13:15:50+00:00

While LightForce brackets are engineered for a highly secure bond, accidents can happen. If one comes loose, treat it like any other orthodontic emergency by applying wax if it pokes you, and call our office so we can 3D-print a replacement placement guide if necessary.

How much do LightForce braces cost compared to standard braces?2026-06-04T13:16:10+00:00

Because they are fully customized, the lab investment is slightly different, but we work hard to keep them highly accessible. We build flexible, in-office payment plans for LightForce just like we do for our standard braces and aligners.
