We believe everyone deserves the most efficient, effective, and comfortable treatment possible. That’s why we are excited to announce that we have incorporated fully customized, 3D printed tooth-moving tools as part of the technology used at Wazio Orthodontics. This new technology allows us to offer our patients a new level of efficiency, personalization, and convenience.
LightForce is an ingenious advancement in bracket systems. In fact, it’s one of the most innovative technologies to hit the orthodontic industry in decades! This new system allows Dr. Wazio to provide completely individualized treatment for each patient with 3D technology that is designed to customize every bracket to fit your teeth perfectly. Since the braces are designed around your teeth, you will get a perfect fit every time. This makes your treatment more efficient and comfortable, resulting in fewer appointments and faster treatment times. Custom brackets can also mean fewer emergencies since the braces adhere to your teeth more precisely.
The LightForce Advantage
- Our Light Bracket is a translucent, more aesthetic, option that blends in with the color of your teeth.
- Ergonomically designed, indirect bonding trays are 3D printed for each patient, providing superior placement accuracy.
- Intuitive digital treatment planning software enables Dr. Wazio to create, adjust, and approve your treatment plan quickly and efficiently.
The success of orthodontic treatment depends on precise tooth movement and a dedication to finding the best materials, equipment, and software for each individual’s treatment plan. LightForce 3D-printing technology enables the Dr. Wazio and his team to tailor braces to your unique dental anatomy and treatment plan. Unlike today’s conventional braces that have generic predetermined prescriptions and a fixed-base shape, LightForce is as unique as each individual patient.
After your teeth are initially captured by our intraoral scanner at your consultation appointment, Dr. Wazio positions them on a computer for optimal function and esthetics. Once this is done, LightForce Braces are designed for every single tooth with a custom prescription made unique for each patient’s orthodontic problem. The braces are then 3D printed on machines designed to make parts for jet engines and space travel. Utilizing this technology makes LightForce Braces are the most technologically advanced braces in the world.
Traditional braces do not take into consideration the unique shape of your individual teeth. This means that the traditional metal or clear braces we use on your teeth are the same exact shape, size, and configuration that we use on every other patient. Therefore, Dr. Wazio and his team spend extra appointments moving braces and bending wires to get your teeth into the correct position. While there is nothing wrong with this traditional approach, LightForce’s modern technology offers a better experience for our patients.
How does LightForce work? The planning process for LightForce braces is entirely digital, so there are no uncomfortable impressions or plaster models to deal with. When you schedule your initial consultation with us, we will complete a comprehensive digital scan of your teeth. This scan will then be used to design custom brackets for each individual tooth.
What Is The LightForce Braces Process? The process for getting LightForce 3D printed Braces is easy. An intra-oral scan of your mouth is done using our iTero scanner at your initial consultation appointment. After the intra-oral scan is complete, Dr. Wazio will create a digital treatment plan that is fully customized to your needs. The LightForce braces are then manufactured utilizing 3D printing for each of your tooth’s unique shape and intended movement. The brackets can be placed wherever they are needed on the teeth, giving Dr. Wazio total control over the movements they make. This makes treatment faster and more efficient than it is with traditional braces.
What Are LightForce Braces Made From? LightForce brackets are more discreet than metal braces. They are made from 100% polycrystalline alumina that blends in beautifully with the natural color of your teeth.
What Are The Benefits of LightForce Braces? Traditional brackets come with a predetermined prescription, but LightForce brackets are patient-specific thanks to the patented 3D-printed technology. The 3D-printed braces provide the strength and precision necessary to successfully move the teeth but are tailored your dental anatomy. The LightForce system lets Dr. Wazio look at the final tooth positioning from the planning stage, giving you the most optimal results in less time.
Your smile deserves more than a one size fits all approach. With LightForce, we can now offer patient specific solutions, incorporate digital treatment planning, and custom braces which differentiates Wazio Orthodontics from other orthodontic practices that use a standard approach for every patient.
