-- Impact Orthodontics SE in Calgary now offers LightForce, a fully customized 3D-printed clear braces system for children, teens, and adults. Unlike traditional braces with standard-sized brackets, LightForce creates individual brackets designed for each tooth's specific shape using digital scanning and 3D printing technology.

Clinical studies demonstrate LightForce treatment finishes 30-45% faster than conventional braces, with patients averaging 15-17 months of treatment versus the traditional 24+ months. Patients also need 41% fewer orthodontist appointments—9.6 visits compared to 14.2 for conventional brackets—as the digital treatment plan reduces the need for frequent adjustments.
The process starts with high-resolution digital scans that capture tooth structure without uncomfortable traditional impressions. CAD software then designs brackets with precise force vectors for each tooth. The brackets come in two options: translucent "Light" or tooth-colored "Cloud" ceramic, both maintaining their clear appearance throughout treatment when proper care guidelines are followed.
These custom-fitted brackets reduce pressure points and irritation often experienced with generic brackets. Patients typically experience less initial soreness and reduced discomfort during adjustments due to the more consistent forces applied through the digital treatment plan. The revolutionary installation process using LightTrays places all brackets simultaneously with computer-designed precision in approximately five minutes.
Progress appointments occur every 8-12 weeks—significantly less frequent than traditional braces' typical 4-6 week intervals. These visits focus on monitoring progress against the digital treatment plan rather than making major adjustments, resulting in shorter, more comfortable appointments.
The fixed nature of LightForce braces provides superior control for complex cases including severe misalignments, significant bite issues, and cases requiring extensive root movement. This makes them particularly effective for patients who might not be candidates for removable aligners or who prefer not to worry about compliance issues.
Founded in 2011, Impact Orthodontics is locally owned by three orthodontists—Dr. Jennifer Smith, Dr. Dena Sawchuk, and Dr. Wendy Vu. The practice provides flexible financing options and direct insurance billing at their Calgary locations in Midnapore (SE) and Britannia (SW).
