Lightforce braces are a revolutionary development in orthodontic technology, bringing a new level of personalisation to braces. These braces are 100% customisable, designed to exactly match the unique contours of your teeth.
Lightforce braces start with advanced digital scans to construct an accurate three-dimensional model of your teeth. This information is then used to create perfectly fitting, 3D printed brackets for each patient. This precision ensures enhanced comfort and treatment effectiveness.
Lightforce brackets are composed of transparent polycrystalline alumina (TPA), giving them a discreet appearance that blends with the natural colour of your teeth.
The technology in Lightforce braces allows for flexible, adaptable treatment plans, offering unparalleled control in shaping a patient’s smile over time.

Lightforce braces come packed with a host of benefits designed to enhance your orthodontic experience and outcome. Here’s how they bring a game-changing difference to your treatment:
Indirect bonding is a method of applying braces, gaining popularity due to its efficiency and precision. This technique deviates from the traditional approach, where brackets are placed on each tooth individually, a process that can be both time-consuming and less precise.
In indirect bonding, an entire set of braces is applied at once, drastically reducing the time required for this stage of treatment. But time-efficiency is only one aspect of why this method is garnering attention. The significant shift towards indirect bonding can be attributed to its compatibility with advanced orthodontic technologies, such as 3D printing, used in creating Lightforce braces.
As each tooth is unique, no two brackets used in Lightforce braces are identical. Instead, each bracket is custom-fitted to each tooth using precision 3D printing technology. This unique Lightforce technique ensures:

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.

Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosing, preventing and treating problems in the alignment of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatment involves using braces, clear aligners plates, and other corrective devices to move teeth and jaws into normal alignment. It may involve changing the position of the teeth or modifying the way the jaw grows.
LightForce braces are fixed orthodontic braces with fully customised, 3D-printed ceramic brackets designed to fit each tooth’s exact shape. They use digital treatment planning for precise movement.
Treatment begins with a 3D digital scan of your teeth, followed by a virtual plan that maps movement. Custom brackets are 3D printed and bonded to your teeth, then connected with wires to guide alignment.
LightForce brackets are made from medical-grade, tooth-coloured ceramic that bonds securely to enamel, is durable, and reduces irritation.
They can correct a wide range of concerns, including overbite, underbite, crossbite, crowding, spacing (diastema), overjet, deep bite and protruding teeth.
They suit teenagers and adults seeking a discreet fixed brace option, particularly when precise control or complex movements are required. A consultation determines if they’re right for you.
Yes. The tooth-coloured ceramic brackets are less noticeable than typical metal braces.
