A digital scan helps create brackets tailored to your individual tooth shapes.
Your orthodontist develops the digital plan and monitors your response throughout care.
LightForce combines a personalized bracket system with wires that guide tooth movement.
LightForce braces
Traditional braces use standard bracket shapes. LightForce brackets are individually designed from a scan and treatment plan. Both are fixed appliances. Dr. Huang can explain whether customization is useful for your bite, goals and budget.
A digital scan captures your tooth anatomy. Dr. Huang uses it alongside your examination and records to plan treatment.
Your brackets are 3D printed for your plan, then placed on your teeth by the clinical team.
Progress visits allow your orthodontist to monitor movement and make adjustments. Retainers help maintain alignment afterward.
The right choice depends on your bite, treatment goals and daily routine. Dr. Huang can explain the tradeoffs for your smile.
| Day to day | Clear aligners | Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Wearing them | Removable; consistent daily wear matters | Fixed to your teeth throughout treatment |
| Eating and cleaning | Remove for meals and cleaning | Clean around brackets and avoid hard or sticky foods |
| Choosing a plan | Suitability depends on the tooth movements needed | May suit a wider range of tooth movements |
Your fee depends on the treatment approach and complexity of your case. At your consultation, ask about the recommended plan, what the quoted fee includes, insurance benefits and available payment plans. A personalized estimate is more useful than a one-size-fits-all price.
