Who Is a Good Candidate for Clear/LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces?
During your initial consultation with your orthodontist in Cumming, they will determine if clear/LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces are right for you. If you are looking for a discreet way to straighten your smile but want the same results as traditional metal braces, you’re in luck.
As with any orthodontic patient, you’ll want to have good general oral health and have no signs of tooth decay or periodontal disease present during your consultation.
How Do LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces Work?
LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces work very much in the same way as traditional braces except for one noticeable difference, which is the fact they are much more subtle in appearance. Instead of relying on shiny metal, we can equip you with clear ceramic brackets and a tooth-colored wire, so your fixtures will blend in seamlessly, allowing you to move throughout your day without bringing much attention to your braces.
This is an ideal solution for any child, teen, or adult who feels self-conscious about their appearance but wants to improve the health and aesthetics of their smile.
When fitted with LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces, you can expect the brackets and archwire to begin working. Whether it is overcrowding, spaces between teeth, or a problem with your bite (i.e., overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite), your teeth will shift over time, causing them to move into alignment. Naturally, you’ll be expected to attend regular appointments with your orthodontist to tighten and adjust the wire so that necessary pressure is applied to your braces and ultimately, your teeth.
What Are the Benefits of LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces Over Traditional Metal Braces?
Choosing LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces over traditional metal brackets and wires certainly has its benefits, some of which include:
- Durability: LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces are strong and durable, making them less likely to break a bracket throughout treatment.
- Less Noticeable: This is probably the most beneficial aspect in that they are very discreet and hard for others to detect.
- Versatile: Clear aligners like Invisalign cannot fix more serious, structural issues, but clear/LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces can!
Day-to-Day Tips
Since you’ll likely be wearing your LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces for a while, you’ll need to abide by a few helpful tips to ensure they remain fully intact and help you achieve the healthier, more beautiful smile you desire. You can do this by:
- Brushing your teeth and braces after every meal. This will keep stains from forming as well as bacteria from growing on your teeth and potentially causing tooth decay or gum disease.
- Flossing and rinsing regularly will also help to curb the possibility of common dental problems, which can be detrimental to your orthodontic treatment if allowed to develop and worsen over time.
- Avoiding tobacco products and smoking. The nicotine found in cigarettes and other items can easily stain the ligatures that hold your wire and bracket together. As a result, your LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces may become more noticeable.
- Limiting or avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages like soda, coffee, tea, berries, etc.
- Avoiding whitening toothpaste throughout treatment, as there will likely be a darker color left behind by your brackets once they are removed.
LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces FAQs
What Makes LightForce Braces Different from Other Types of Ceramic Braces?
You will find that LightForce 3D printed braces in Cumming offer a unique approach to orthodontic treatment. Each bracket is custom made using advanced 3D printing technology based on scans of your unique mouth, which allows the braces to fit your teeth’s distinct shape. This customization supports gentle, precise movement, helping you achieve optimal results.
Do LightForce Braces Work Faster Than Traditional Braces?
If you seek a more efficient orthodontic experience, LightForce braces stand out. Their custom design allows our team to plan precise tooth movement from the beginning of your treatment. This can lead to shorter treatment times because your braces follow a plan made for your smile’s unique alignment. In contrast, with conventional braces, adjustments often require more time because the brackets are not custom fitted.
Can I Get LightForce Braces if I Have Severe or Complex Misalignment?
You may wonder if LightForce braces can address complex orthodontic needs. The advanced technology and customization process allow us to treat a wide variety of bite and tooth alignment issues, including severe cases. We assess your smile using a digital scan, then use data to design a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
With this level of personalization, LightForce braces are suitable for most patients, even those who require comprehensive correction. You can trust that our team will not recommend this treatment unless it is a good fit for your unique circumstances.
Do LightForce 3D Printed Ceramic Braces Cost More than Traditional Braces?
When you consider orthodontic options, cost is often a key factor. LightForce braces may have a higher upfront price compared to traditional ceramic braces due to the technology and customization involved. However, many patients appreciate the advantages, such as reduced treatment time and fewer office visits.
We believe the investment in LightForce often brings added value because you receive a personalized treatment plan and an improved experience. We always discuss financial options and help you decide which solution aligns with your budget and goals. You will receive clear information about pricing and payment before you start treatment. We even offer convenient in-house financing that can allow you to pay for your care over time.
How Do I Prevent Staining on My LightForce Braces?
LightForce brackets are designed to resist stains, but the adhesive that keeps them in place as well as the elastic bands that secure the wire may still be vulnerable to discoloration. You can maintain your LightForce braces’ natural appearance by following proper oral hygiene techniques. Brush your teeth after every meal and use non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching the ceramic surface. Floss gently between wires and brackets to remove any trapped food particles. We also recommend minimizing foods and drinks that can cause discoloration, such as coffee, tea, and red wine.
