3D Printed Braces for Adults in Santa Rosa
- The convenient, discreet, and fast way to a beautiful smile from Sonoma County's only provider of LightForce custom braces
A revolution for adult smiles
Confidence in your smile can have a huge impact on your professional and personal life. But many adults feel braces aren’t for them: too conspicuous, too uncomfortable, and really, only for kids.
Nothing could be further from the truth!
Aren't I too old for braces?
No! Your teeth can be realigned at any age to improve both their function and appearance. Our LightForce 3D printed braces for adults can fix misalignment, gaps, and tooth wear, leading to better oral health and increased confidence – regardless of your age.
Discreet braces for adults that work fast
LightForce 3D printed braces for adults are a revolution in orthodontics, offering an efficient and fully custom-fit way to improve your smile without having a mouthful of metal.
Unlike traditional metal brackets, LightForce braces use clear or tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your appearance, for a modern alternative that’s as effective as it is discreet.
LightForce orthodontics are created from digital scans of your teeth to fit each one’s unique anatomy. This precise fit allows for better control of tooth movement and shorter overall treatment duration – 30-40% less than old-school metal braces.

How can 3D printed braces for adults help?

Frequently asked questions
How are LightForce 3D printed braces for adults attached to my teeth?
Unlike old-school metal braces technology, which is one-size-fits-all, we use 3D printed jigs to seat your custom-fit LightForce braces onto your teeth in the perfect position. This allows for more precise tooth movement, fewer adjustments, and shorter overall treatment times.
How would I fit appointments into my busy schedule?
We have several approaches that reduce your number of in-person appointments.
First, because LightForce 3D printed braces move your teeth precisely to your exact prescription, overall treatment time can be 30-40% shorter than old-school metal technology. This saves on average 4-5 in-person appointments and 5-6 months of treatment!
Second, with LightForce 3D printed braces for adults, we use remote monitoring to evaluate the right time for you to come in. This technology eliminates unnecessary appointments and wasted trips and greatly reduces the number of in-person visits required.
Why would I choose 3D printed braces for adults over Invisalign clear aligners?
Invisalign aligners are removable and nearly invisible, but may not suit cases requiring more complex tooth control. There is also the convenience factor: Invisalign requires daily tasks. LightForce’s 3D printed customized brackets, being fixed, work consistently and are ideal for adult patients who want a low-maintenance option without needing to remove, maintain, and reinsert aligners every day.
Both approaches are excellent; if you’re unsure which is right for you, book a free consultation. Dr. Lynskey is also an expert in Invisalign, and she can help you determine whether LightForce 3D printed braces for adults or Invisalign are the best fit for your dental needs and lifestyle. You can learn more about Invisalign for adults here.
Are custom 3D printed braces for adults more expensive than traditional metal braces?
Actually, no. At Lynskey Orthodontics, we do not charge our patients more for our custom LightForce braces. In fact, because of the additional appointments required for metal braces and longer overall treatment times, metal braces end up costing more.
Does Lynksey Orthodontics offer financing for braces in Santa Rosa?
Yes. At Lynskey Orthodontics, we offer our Santa Rosa and Sonoma County community flexible monthly payment plans, 0% interest financing, and extended payment options.
Many dental insurance plans cover 3D printed braces for adults. Our team will assist by verifying your benefits, submitting the claims, and accepting assignment of benefits to help reduce your overall out-of-pocket expenses.
Orthodontic care is also an eligible medical expense for HSA or FSA plans, and many families use these funds toward treatment costs.
You can learn more on our Insurance and Financing page, or schedule a complimentary consultation and we’ll be happy to answer any questions.
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Lynksey?
No referral is needed – you can schedule a complimentary consultation directly with our Santa Rosa office.
