LightForce is a fully customised ceramic bracket, meaning they’re designed for your teeth only.
After our Orthodontist designs your treatment plan, your LightForce braces are 3D printed according to this prescription. The brackets come in prepared plastic trays, ready to be transferred from the trays to your teeth.
This indirect bonding technique means your braces are put on comfortably and quickly. No more lying in a chair for over an hour to get your braces on!
We’re all about choice at Gullotta Orthodontics. That’s why we also offer Damon braces which we’ve been using for over a decade.
Dr Nino Gullotta believes the Damon system of braces is different to others because it uses ‘passive self-ligating braces’, which means they remove the need for rubber bands around the braces. This helps reduce friction and free the teeth to move more quickly, with less discomfort.
Damon braces are excellent for the widening of dental arches, which means the need for expanders and extractions is greatly reduced
Both our LightForce and Damon braces come in a clear braces option. These tooth-coloured brackets are a discreet option for those people who prefer a less noticeable look.
