Company mission

To empower the experts to create a bite and smile as unique as the patient.

Our take

LightForce Orthodontics delivers a platform for orthodontists to design and 3D-print custom tooth-moving tools, enabling orthodontic treatment to proceed faster and with an enhanced, personalized standard of care.

With LightForce, orthodontists can print an array of tools from brackets to IDB trays to custom buccal tubes, all designed to fit the individual patient's tooth anatomy and bite. In addition, its web-based platform comes with intuitive treatment-planning software, and its workflows integrate seamlessly into existing practices, making it the one-stop-shop for optimizing orthodontic outcomes.

The company has seen good funding in the past, and displayed an impressive growth trajectory. Recognising a gap in the market of treatment options for teenagers, LightForce is working to bridge that gap with its convenient digital braces, and all-in-all has cemented itself as a player of intrigue in the orthodontics space.
