L&L Orthodontics: Leading the Way with 3D-Printed Braces in Melbourne

At L&L Orthodontics, we’re committed to offering the very best in orthodontic care. We stay ahead of the curve by adopting the latest orthodontic technology to ensure your journey to a confident smile is more personalised, comfortable, and efficient than ever before.

One of the most exciting innovations we now offer is LightForce 3D printed braces, a modern alternative to traditional metal braces.

Clear Aligners vs. Braces: A New Era of Customised Orthodontics

Thanks to modern technology, clear aligner treatment has become more streamlined, comfortable, and accessible. Gone are the days of messy dental impression kits. With 3D scanning, we can digitally capture your teeth and build your treatment plan with precision. However, not every smile is suited to aligners. That’s where LightForce 3D printed braces come in, a breakthrough in fixed orthodontic treatment.

What Are LightForce Braces?

Developed by American orthodontist Dr Alfred Griffin, LightForce Braces are the world’s first fully custom, 3D printed braces. Unlike traditional braces, which use generic, one-size-fits-all brackets, LightForce brackets are custom-designed to fit the unique shape and angle of each of your teeth using the same 3D scanning technology used for aligners.

“We believe that the future of orthodontics is going to revolve around 3D printing and customisation.” – Dr Alfred Griffin

Why Choose LightForce 3D Braces?

• Fully customised for your teeth
• Faster treatment time
• Fewer Appointments
• More comfortable fit
• Great for teens and adults

Benefits of 3D Printed Braces

Traditional metal braces require regular wire changes and adjustments due to their generic design. Orthodontists must constantly adapt treatment to suit each patient's unique anatomy, especially in cases involving crowded or rotated teeth.

LightForce Braces, on the other hand, are designed specifically for your smile. Each bracket is 3D printed to match the contours of your teeth, allowing for a smoother and more predictable treatment journey.

Smarter Monitoring with Dental Monitoring Technology

We pair LightForce treatment with the same advanced Dental Monitoring technology used in our aligner cases. With a smartphone and our app-compatible scan box, patients can submit remote scans from home, the office, or even while travelling. Your orthodontist can track progress in real-time and let you know if an in-person visit is necessary, saving time without compromising care.

From LightForce case studies, patients experience fewer appointments while staying closely monitored.

L&L Orthodontics: Victoria’s Largest Provider of LightForce Braces

We are proud to be Victoria’s leading provider of LightForce 3D printed braces, based on the number of patients treated since we introduced the technology in September 2022.
