Orthodontics has come a long way, and innovations like LightForce Braces are revolutionizing the way we approach teeth straightening. At the office of Dr. Ceceilia M. Markham, DMD, in Warrington, PA, we are proud to offer this cutting-edge solution to our patients. Combining advanced 3D technology with personalized treatment, LightForce Braces provide a level of precision and efficiency unmatched by traditional options.
LightForce Braces represent the latest innovation in orthodontics, utilizing 3D-printed technology to create fully customized brackets tailored to each patient's unique dental anatomy. Unlike traditional braces, which use pre-manufactured brackets, LightForce Braces are designed specifically for you, ensuring a more precise fit and efficient treatment.
LightForce Braces leverages digital technology to streamline every aspect of treatment, from planning to execution. Here’s how they work:
Dr. Markham begins by conducting a comprehensive examination of your teeth, jaw, and bite. Using advanced imaging techniques, such as digital scans and X-rays, a detailed 3D model of your teeth is created. This model serves as the foundation for designing your LightForce Braces.
The data from the 3D model is sent to LightForce’s specialized printers, where custom brackets are crafted for each tooth. These brackets are made from durable, high-quality ceramic material, ensuring they are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Dr. Markham uses a custom placement tray designed for your unique anatomy to ensure each bracket is applied with pinpoint accuracy. This precise placement enhances treatment efficiency and effectiveness.
Once the brackets are in place, archwires are threaded through them to gently guide your teeth into their desired positions. Regular adjustments are scheduled to ensure the treatment stays on track. Contact us to learn more.
LightForce Braces offer numerous advantages over traditional orthodontic treatments, making them a popular choice for patients seeking optimal results with minimal inconvenience.
Because the brackets are designed specifically for your teeth, LightForce Braces provide unparalleled precision and fit. This customization allows for more efficient tooth movement, reducing overall treatment time.
LightForce Braces are made from a translucent ceramic material, making them far less noticeable than traditional metal braces. This makes them an excellent option for patients concerned about the appearance of their orthodontic treatment.
The personalized design ensures a better fit, minimizing irritation to the gums and inner cheeks. Patients often report less discomfort compared to traditional braces.
Thanks to advanced digital planning, treatment with LightForce Braces is more efficient and predictable. This reduces the number of adjustments and office visits required.
While clear aligners may not be ideal for all orthodontic issues, LightForce Braces can address a wide range of cases, from mild misalignments to more complex bite problems.
LightForce Braces are suitable for patients of all ages who are looking to correct dental alignment issues. Common conditions treated include:
During your consultation, Dr. Markham will evaluate your specific needs and determine if LightForce Braces is the right solution for you.
Your journey with LightForce Braces begins with a consultation at Dr. Markham’s office. During this visit, we’ll discuss your goals, examine your teeth, and take digital impressions to create your treatment plan.
Once your custom brackets are 3D-printed, Dr. Markham will bond them to your teeth using a precise placement tray. This process ensures accuracy and sets the stage for efficient treatment.
You’ll visit our office every 4–6 weeks for adjustments, during which Dr. Markham will fine-tune the braces to keep your teeth moving in the right direction.
After your teeth have reached their ideal positions, the braces are removed, and you’ll be fitted with a retainer to maintain your results.
