LightForce Braces
A Confident Smile, Customized for You
Available in Mississauga and Georgetown
Are you dreaming of a straighter smile, but dreading the thought of traditional metal braces? We understand. We know that braces can be uncomfortable, unsightly, and can even be a little embarrassing. That's why we're excited to offer LightForce braces – a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that's changing the way people think about braces.
LightForce braces are the new approach to braces
LightForce braces are not your average braces, they are advanced braces, being the world's first 3D printed braces designed for each specific tooth.
They’re designed with your unique smile in mind, offering a level of custom braces that match the shape and size of your teeth, providing comfort and efficiency that’s simply not possible with traditional braces. And they represent a significant advancement in the field of orthodontics. This page explains what sets them apart.
Custom-Fit Braces for the Most Comfortable Treatment
One of the standout features of LightForce braces is their custom-fit comfort. LightForce is different, just like your teeth are different. Each of your teeth is as unique as a fingerprint, so we use a precise digital scan of your teeth to create a 3D model of your smile, which we then use to design your very own set of custom-fit braces.
This means that your braces will fit your teeth perfectly, right from the start, which can lead to less discomfort and faster treatment times. LightForce braces ensure the exact position of each bracket for optimal tooth movement.
As Dr. Selnes likes to say, ”Every smile is unique, and your braces should be too.”
No More Metal!
Shape your New Smile Discreetly.
Say goodbye to bulky metal brackets and wires! LightForce braces are made from either clear or white ceramic material that blends seamlessly with your teeth. They're as close to invisible as you can get with braces, so you can smile with confidence throughout your treatment.
And because they're 3D printed, each bracket is precisely crafted to fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring optimal comfort and efficiency. They're certainly not mass-produced like traditional metal brackets, which try to fit everyone.
Get Your Dream Smile Faster
Time is precious, and we understand that you want to achieve your dream smile as quickly as possible. LightForce braces are designed to be more efficient than traditional braces, which means you'll see results sooner.
This efficiency also leads to fewer appointments, saving time for patients with busy schedules. In fact, studies have shown that LightForce can reduce treatment time by up to 45%. Having a straighter, healthier smile in less time is possible with LightForce.
Spend Less Time on Braces, More on Family Life
As a parent, we know your calendar is packed — work, school runs, extracurricular activities, and everything in between. The last thing you need is another appointment to add to your already hectic schedule.
You’ll be thrilled with our offering of LightForce braces at Heritage Orthodontics, because they’re designed with efficiency in mind and LightForce results in 41% fewer scheduled appointments than traditional braces!
This means less of your kids’ time spent at Dr. Selnes’ office, and fewer ortho appointments that disrupt your child’s school day, extracurricular activities, and social life. With LightForce, your child can keep up with their busy schedule and still achieve a beautiful, healthy smile.

Precision Orthodontics with 3D Printed Technology
LightForce braces are the only braces on the market that are fully customized using 3D printing technology. Your custom braces will offer a technologically advanced orthodontic system that provides fully customized dental braces, designed to match the shape and size of your teeth for more accuracy and convenience compared to traditional braces. This allows us to create braces that fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring optimal tooth movement and comfort. The precision of 3D printing also means that your braces are less likely to break or come loose, which can save you time and hassle in the long run.
We harness the power of advanced 3D printing technology to create LightForce braces that are truly one-of-a-kind. While you might associate 3D printing with plastic, LightForce utilizes a specialized process to craft your braces from a remarkably strong, tooth-colored (or clear!) ceramic material. This high-quality ceramic is engineered specifically for the demands of orthodontic treatment.
This innovative approach allows us to create braces that are:
- Uniquely Yours: Each bracket is individually crafted to fit your teeth perfectly. This ensures optimal tooth movement, comfort, and a discreet appearance. You can also choose between the Light Bracket (translucent clear and barely noticeable) and the Cloud Bracket (white ceramic), allowing your personal style to shine through.
- Built to Last: The precision of 3D printing and the strength of the ceramic material mean your braces are less likely to break or come loose, saving you time and unexpected trips to the orthodontist.
- A Perfect Fit: Say goodbye to the one-size-fits-all approach. With LightForce, your braces are tailored to the unique contours of your teeth, providing a comfortable and effective treatment experience.
The LightTray Indirect Bonding System: Accuracy and Efficiency
Ever wonder how your orthodontist gets all those brackets onto your teeth? Traditional metal braces would require a lot of glue and time, but with LightForce we use a special system called LightTray indirect bonding. This system allows us to place all of your brackets at once, ensuring exact placement and less of your time spent in the chair. It also leads to a more comfortable bonding experience, as there’s less manipulation of individual teeth.
LightPlan Software: Your Personalized Treatment Roadmap
LightForce isn’t just about braces – it’s a complete orthodontic system. Our LightForce treatment plan, powered by LightPlan software, allows us to create a personalized treatment plan for you, mapping out every step of your journey to a straighter smile. This means that you’ll know exactly what to expect at every stage of your treatment, giving you peace of mind and confidence in the process.
