LightForce Orthodontics specializes in creating personalized orthodontic solutions using 3D printing technology. Their main product is a custom 3D printed orthodontic bracket designed to fit the unique shape of each patient's teeth, which enhances bond strength and allows for better movement. They also provide personalized Indirect Bonding (IDB) trays, called LightTrays, which are specifically made for their braces and help clinicians bond brackets efficiently without taking up the doctor's time. LightForce operates a web-based platform named LightPlan, enabling orthodontists to create and manage treatment plans with ease. This platform gives clinicians full control over the treatment process, making it easier to customize care for each patient. Unlike competitors, LightForce focuses on fully personalized products and a streamlined digital experience for orthodontists. The company's goal is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of orthodontic treatment through tailored solutions.
