Custom-Fitted Brackets
Each clear ceramic bracket is designed to match the shape of your tooth.
LightForce Braces
Custom Clear Braces
LightForce clear braces are tooth-colored and 3D printed for your teeth, not a one-size-fits-all kit.
What Is LightForce?
Clear Braces, Custom Made
LightForce braces are clear braces. The brackets are made from translucent, tooth-colored ceramic, and each one is custom designed and 3D printed to fit your teeth.
As the first fully digital braces system, LightForce combines 3D printing with precise digital planning. Segovia Orthodontics is an authorized LightForce provider in Lakewood Ranch.
Dr. Flor Segovia uses your digital scan to plan treatment, then designs each bracket around your final smile.

Good to Know
Is LightForce Right for You?
Who It's For
LightForce is a great fit for teens and adults who want the reliability of fixed braces with a discreet, tooth-colored look. Dr. Segovia will confirm whether it suits your bite at your consultation.
LightForce vs. Clear Aligners
Both are discreet. LightForce braces are fixed, so they work around the clock with nothing to remember, while clear aligners are removable and must be worn as directed.
LightForce vs. Metal Braces
LightForce and metal braces move teeth the same way. LightForce brackets are clear and custom made for each tooth, while metal brackets are stainless steel and can be decorated with colored ties.
Caring for Clear Braces
Brush after meals, floss daily, and avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods. Limiting coffee, tea, and dark sauces helps keep the ties looking fresh. See our braces care guide.
Built for Comfort
Each LightForce bracket is shaped to sit closely against its tooth, with a smooth, low profile that is gentle on lips and cheeks.
Cost and Coverage
Pricing depends on your case. We review costs at your free consultation, and most insurances help make clear braces affordable.
