LightForce™ Braces in Georgetown, TX

How Are LightForce™ Braces Different From Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces rely on standardized bracket shapes designed for an average tooth, which often means more manual wire bending along the way. LightForce™ works the opposite way.

We build each bracket to be patient-specific, using your digital treatment plan and 3D printing it around your unique tooth anatomy. Because the bracket itself accounts for adjustments, rather than our team bending the wire chairside, many patients need fewer manual adjustments, depending on their plan.

Benefits of LightForce™ Braces

A customized fit for every tooth means more precise bracket placement from day one. Digital treatment planning lets Dr. Bernuy map your case before a bracket goes on, and because each bracket is custom-fit to your tooth, most people find them more comfortable than standard brackets.

Fewer manual adjustments also tend to mean fewer office visits, and some patients report shorter overall treatment times with LightForce™, though individual results vary by case.

What Can LightForce™ Braces Treat?

LightForce braces treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, from simple to complex.

• Crowded teeth
• Spacing issues
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Open bite
• Rotated teeth
• Complex orthodontic cases

Treatment recommendations always depend on a full orthodontic evaluation with Dr. Bernuy.

What Should You Expect When Getting LightForce™ Braces?

We start the treatment with a consultation, followed by a digital 3D scan that skips messy impressions.

Dr. Bernuy builds your digital treatment plan from that scan, and we fabricate your patient-specific brackets from it. Our team then places them using guides designed for accurate positioning, with periodic progress visits until treatment is complete and you move into a retention plan.

Why Choose Bernuy Orthodontic Specialist for LightForce™ Braces in Georgetown, TX?

Dr. Neker Bernuy brings a personal understanding of precision to every LightForce case, shaped by his own path into orthodontics.

His mother worked as a dentist, and watching her practice first drew him toward the field. He practiced dentistry in Peru before moving to the United States without speaking English. While requalifying here, he worked as a dental assistant and a busboy, then completed dental school again and an orthodontic residency at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

That same precision shapes how he applies LightForce technology now. Digital scans replace guesswork, treatment plans get mapped before a bracket is placed, and each patient receives a bracket system we build around their own bite.
