LightForce Brackets are the world’s first fully customized 3D-printed ceramic braces. Unlike traditional braces that come in standard shapes, LightForce braces are digitally designed to fit the unique contours of your teeth. This means a more precise fit, which can make treatment more efficient and comfortable. They are also less noticeable than standard metal braces because they’re made of tooth-colored ceramic. At Griffin Orthodontics, our orthodontist uses LightForce technology to give you the benefits of traditional braces (reliably straightening all types of cases) with a modern, personalized touch that improves comfort and results.

When braces are first put on, or after adjustments, your child might experience some soreness or discomfort for a few days as their teeth begin to shift. This is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods. Most people adapt quickly and find the discomfort to be temporary.

Adult orthodontic treatment can differ from that of younger patients primarily due to the lack of jaw growth in adults. This means that some jaw discrepancies may require surgical intervention. Adults are also more likely to have experienced gum or bone loss, which can affect treatment plans. Close coordination among dental specialists is often necessary to ensure comprehensive care. Additionally, adults may need to address existing dental issues, such as periodontal disease, before starting orthodontic treatmen

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. This early visit allows orthodontists to identify potential issues with jaw growth and tooth eruption. While treatment might not be necessary at this age, early detection of problems can lead to more effective interventions later and can help guide the growth and development of your child’s teeth and jaws.
