LightForce™ 3D-printed braces for adults
The next generation of braces — LightForce™ brackets are 3D-printed and personalised to your exact teeth. On the Gold Coast, our Specialist Orthodontists use that custom design for a more precise fit, more comfort and fewer trips to the practice around a busy schedule.
Braces personalised to you
Where standard braces use one-size brackets, LightForce™ brackets are 3D-printed to precisely match the unique shape and orientation of each of your teeth — as individual as a fingerprint.
Combined with fully digital treatment planning, that bespoke fit lets your Specialist Orthodontist guide each tooth more accurately into place, often with smaller, lower-profile brackets that sit more comfortably and look more subtle.
Precise, comfortable, and efficient
Because everything is planned and printed to your teeth, LightForce™ can mean less discomfort, more efficient tooth movement and — for many patients — a shorter overall treatment with fewer adjustment appointments.
Fewer visits is a genuine advantage when work and life are busy, and remote Virtual Monitoring keeps things on track between appointments. Weighing up your options? Compare with traditional braces, hidden lingual braces and removable Invisalign®.

Adult LightForce™ FAQ
Every LightForce™ bracket is 3D-printed to match the exact shape and position of each individual tooth, rather than being a standard, off-the-shelf bracket. Paired with fully digital treatment planning, that bespoke design lets your Specialist Orthodontist move each tooth more precisely — often with smaller, lower-profile brackets that are more comfortable and more subtle than traditional braces.
Many patients find them more comfortable than traditional braces. Because each bracket is custom-made and lower-profile, there's less bulk and less rubbing against your lips and cheeks. You may still feel some pressure for a few days after fitting and after adjustments — that's a normal sign your teeth are moving into place.
For many patients, yes. The precision of 3D-printed brackets and digital planning can mean more efficient tooth movement and fewer adjustment visits than standard braces — a real advantage around a busy schedule. Your Specialist Orthodontist will give you a realistic, personalised estimate at your consultation.
They sit on the front of the teeth like standard braces, but the custom brackets are noticeably smaller and lower-profile, so they're more discreet. If you'd prefer a fully hidden option, ask us about lingual braces or near-invisible Invisalign®.
