Experience the future of orthodontics with LightForce

At Lynskey Orthodontics, we use LightForce 3D printed braces, known for their precision, efficiency, comfort, and discreetness compared to traditional metal braces.

With LightForce braces, your teeth are digitally scanned and custom brackets are 3D printed from these scans. Each of these brackets exactly matches each tooth’s individual anatomy, ensuring perfect fit and reliable tooth movement

Your own custom plan

This level of control allows us to plan your treatment with greater precision than traditional braces. You experience quicker tooth movement and a shorter overall treatment time, and the brackets’ precise fit makes them more comfortable, with less of the irritation associated with traditional metal braces.

We do all the 3D scanning in-house at our Santa Rosa office. This digital orthodontics approach also lets us monitor your progress remotely using our dedicated application and your smartphone’s camera. This significantly reduces your need for in-office appointments, delivering greater convenience and less impact on your busy schedule.

LightForce 3D printed braces are custom-fitted to each tooth using advanced digital scanning technology, allowing for precise tooth movement and optimized comfort.

Esthetic and discreet

LightForce 3D printed braces are your esthetic solution to tooth and jaw alignment, being less conspicuous than traditional metal braces and requiring less time to work.

LightForce braces are printed from clear or tooth-colored materials to blend in with your smile. This means you can complete your orthodontic treatment with minimal impact on your lifestyle or appearance.

Plus, if you like, you can personalize your 3D printed braces by choosing colorful bands for added fun and self-expression.

Frequently asked questions

How are 3D printed braces put on the teeth?

Unlike old-school metal brace tech, we use 3D printed jigs to seat each bracket onto your teeth in the perfect position. Each bracket is customized to each tooth, so the fit is exact. The brackets are secured primarily using light-cured, resin-based orthodontic adhesives.

Do 3D printed braces move teeth faster?

Studies have shown that LightForce 3D printed braces can reduce treatment time by up to 40% compared to traditional braces. This is thanks to the precise design and placement of the brackets which create more controlled and effective force application, leading to faster alignment of the teeth and jaw.

Why doesn’t every orthodontist provide custom 3D printed braces?

Honestly, we don’t know.

Are custom 3D printed braces more expensive?

No, in our office we do not charge our patients more for LightForce custom 3D printed braces. In fact, because traditional metal braces require additional appointments and longer treatment times, they end up costing more.

How often are my appointments?

To reduce the number of in-office visits, we monitor our LightForce 3D printed braces patients remotely using a smartphone application. You perform the 30-second scan from home or on the go, and the results are displayed in our offices. We can assess your progress and schedule your in-office visits at just the right time. This reduces your overall treatment time and minimizes your travel time.

How would I fit appointments into my busy schedule?

With LightForce 3D printed braces, we use remote monitoring to evaluate when it’s the right time for you to come in. These virtual check-up scans take two minutes using your smartphone and can be performed from home or anywhere on the go. They result in more accurate treatment timing and shorter overall treatment time, meaning fewer visits to our office and less disruption to your life.

How much do 3D printed braces cost? Does Lynksey Orthodontics offer financing options for 3D printed braces in Santa Rosa?

Our Lightforce 3D printed braces case costs run from $3,300 to $7,400 depending upon the complexity.

At Lynskey Orthodontics, we strongly believe nothing should stand in the way of health care for you or your family. We offer our Santa Rosa and Sonoma County communities flexible monthly payment plans, 0% interest financing, and extended payment options.
