LightForce System
LightForce Orthodontics, a venture-capital backed startup headquartered in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, introduced a fully customized 3D-printed bracket
system at the AAO 2019 Annual Session in Los Angeles, California. The
LightForce system unites proprietary digital treatment capabilities with patented
3D manufacturing processes to produce a 100%-customized set of appliances for
each patient.
With the LightForce system, each bracket is dynamically designed in real time
based on the patient's specific tooth morphology and the clinician's individual treatment
plan. The orthodontist sets the teeth to the desired finish using the digital treatment planning software, which
generates customized specifications for 3D-printing braces with the most biomechanically efficient prescription. The case comes with custom indirect bonding trays, which also enhance placement speed and accuracy.

ComfortTrack
Great Lakes Dental Technologies' new ComfortTrack clear
aligner material now comes standard on all Smart Moves Complete clear aligner cases. ComfortTrack is designed specifically for
patient comfort and aligner effectiveness. Made exclusively for
clear aligners, the material
has elastomeric properties
that generate an ideal initial force and maintain it
over time. ComfortTrack's
multilayered structure
generates 40% less initial
force and retains 150+%
greater force on day seven
for aligner effectiveness.
The material is also highly
stain-resistant.
Smart Moves Complete is Great Lakes Dental Technologies'
clear aligner solution for full arch treatment. Managed through
a cloud-based software platform, Smart Moves aligners are
manufactured in, and supported by, U.S.-based technicians.
