Choosing the right orthodontic treatment can be a pivotal decision for achieving a perfect smile. At Classic City
Orthodontics, we offer a range of advanced orthodontic solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each
patient. In this blog, we’ll explore three popular options: LightForce, Traditional Braces, and Suresmile, to help you
make an informed choice.
LightForce: The Future of Custom Orthodontics
LightForce is a cutting-edge orthodontic solution that leverages 3D printing technology to create custom braces
for each patient. Unlike traditional braces that come in standard sizes, LightForce braces are uniquely designed to
fit the precise contours of your teeth.
Benefits of LightForce:
- Customized Fit: Each bracket is tailored to your individual tooth anatomy, ensuring a comfortable and
effective treatment. - Aesthetically Pleasing: LightForce braces are less noticeable than traditional metal braces, making them a
great choice for those concerned about appearance. - Efficient Treatment: The precision of LightForce brackets allows for more efficient tooth movement, potentially
reducing treatment time.
For a Customized Experience: LightForce offers a bespoke treatment with aesthetic benefits.
For Proven Reliability: Traditional braces provide a tried and true method suitable for all kinds of dental
corrections.
Traditional Braces: The Tried and True Method
Traditional braces have been a reliable orthodontic solution for decades. They consist of metal brackets glued to
the teeth and connected by wires and elastic bands. These braces are highly effective for correcting a wide
range of dental issues.
Benefits of Traditional Braces:
- Proven Effectiveness: Traditional braces are versatile and can treat complex dental problems, including severe misalignment and bite issues.
- Durability: Made from high-quality stainless steel, these braces are sturdy and durable.
- Accessibility: Traditional braces are widely available and often more affordable than newer orthodontic technologies.
- Suresmile: Precision and Speed Combined
Suresmile is an advanced orthodontic system that uses 3D imaging and robotically bent archwires to create a precise treatment plan. This technology enhances the accuracy of tooth movement, leading to faster and more predictable results.
Benefits of Suresmile:
High Precision: The use of 3D imaging allows for highly accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Shorter Treatment Time: The customized archwires facilitate more efficient tooth movement, often reducing
overall treatment time.
Improved Comfort: The precise design of the archwires can reduce discomfort and the need for frequent
adjustments.

Selecting the right orthodontic treatment depends on various factors, including the complexity of your dental
issues, your lifestyle, and your personal preferences. At Classic City Orthodontics, our experienced team is
dedicated to helping you find the best solution for your needs.
For Efficiency and Precision: Suresmile combines advanced technology with faster results.
