  • Personalized
  • Precise
  • Advanced

LightForce braces represent the most advanced evolution of traditional braces. Unlike standard brackets that are mass-produced to fit everyone, LightForce brackets are custom-designed for each individual tooth and use a patented 3D printing technology to complete the customization. The technology is similar to having a custom-built house with Dr. Dabney as the architect!

At Dabney Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer LightForce braces because they allow us to deliver more efficient, more

LIGHTFORCE COMPANY HISTORY & INNOVATION

LightForce was founded on innovation and scientific research.

In 2015, during the Boston blizzard, while he was a resident in the department of orthodontics at Harvard University’s school of dentistry, Dr. Alfred Griffin III began researching new ways to improve orthodontic brackets using 3D printing technology. After three years of research and development, he successfully created the first fully 3D-printed orthodontic bracket, made from ceramic polycrystalline alumina.

To bring this breakthrough to patients worldwide, Dr. Griffin partnered with Dr. Lou Shuman, a former senior executive at Invisalign® during its early hyper-growth phase, along with a team of biomechanical engineers, hardware engineers, and software developers.

Key Milestones:

  • 2019: FDA clearance and official launch at the AAO Annual Session
  • 2021: Expansion of headquarters from Cambridge to Burlington, MA
  • 2022: Recipient of the AAO Innovator Award

Today, LightForce is recognized as one of the most innovative orthodontic systems available.
