Braces for Kids
At TG Orthodontics, we understand that early orthodontic intervention can make a big difference in your child’s smile and overall dental health. That’s why we offer LightForce Braces for kids — a modern, fully customized approach to braces designed to fit their unique dental anatomy.
LightForce Braces are uniquely suited for young patients because they are customized to each child’s dental structure. The brackets are 3D-printed using advanced technology to fit perfectly on each tooth, allowing for more efficient and comfortable treatment. This tailored approach means less time in braces, fewer visits to our office, and a more pleasant experience for your child.
With LightForce Braces, every step of your child’s orthodontic journey is planned for optimal results. Dr. Gostovich, our board-certified orthodontist, will create a fully customized treatment plan designed specifically for your child’s needs, ensuring a healthy and beautiful smile as they grow.
The Importance of Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment allows us to detect and address potential dental problems before they become more serious. By evaluating your child around age 7, we can identify issues like misaligned bites, overcrowded teeth, or jaw growth discrepancies that might not be visible yet. Intervening at this stage can help guide the development of the jaw, correct harmful oral habits, and create adequate space for permanent teeth to erupt properly. This proactive approach can simplify future orthodontic care, potentially reducing the need for extractions or more invasive treatments later in life.
Additionally, early treatment can help improve your child’s self-esteem and confidence by giving them a beautiful, functional smile as they grow. It also ensures that their speech development and chewing patterns are not adversely affected by misaligned teeth or bite problems. By starting orthodontic care early, we set the foundation for a lifetime of optimal oral health.
Braces for Teens
The teenage years are the perfect time for orthodontic treatment. At TG Orthodontics, we offer LightForce Braces — a fully customized and advanced option designed to fit seamlessly into a teen’s active lifestyle. LightForce Braces are 3D-printed, providing a perfect fit for each individual tooth, resulting in a more comfortable and effective treatment experience.
LightForce Braces are ideal for teens because they offer a more comfortable and efficient alternative to traditional braces. Each bracket is custom-made to match the teen’s unique dental structure, ensuring a secure fit that reduces irritation and discomfort. Because the brackets are made from a translucent ceramic material, they blend in with the teeth, making them less noticeable and helping teens feel more confident during treatment. With the precision of LightForce Braces, many teens complete their treatment in a shorter time frame, allowing them to get back to the things they love sooner.
Starting orthodontic treatment during the teen years is an excellent way to address bite problems, crowding, and gaps while the teeth and jaw are still growing. Early intervention can prevent more severe dental issues in the future, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and even speech difficulties. Moreover, braces during the teenage years can boost self-esteem by giving teens a straighter, more attractive smile at a time when confidence is especially important.
a tailored approach for every teen
At TG Orthodontics, we understand that every teen is different. That’s why Dr. Gostovich, our board-certified orthodontist, takes the time to create a treatment plan tailored to each teen’s needs. Using our iTero Scanner, we create a precise 3D model of your teen’s teeth, ensuring that each LightForce bracket is perfectly designed for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
We also offer flexible appointment scheduling and utilize advanced technologies like DentalMonitoring to allow teens to check in remotely, reducing the number of in-office visits needed. This technology lets us track progress in real-time and make adjustments to the treatment plan, providing a more efficient and convenient orthodontic experience.
Orthodontic treatment during the teen years not only improves oral health but also boosts confidence. A beautiful smile can make a significant difference in a teen’s self-esteem, positively affecting their social interactions and academic performance. With LightForce Braces, teens can enjoy these benefits without feeling self-conscious about their appearance.
Braces for Adults
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens. At TG Orthodontics, we offer LightForce Braces for adults who want to achieve a healthier, more beautiful smile. LightForce Braces provide a customized and discreet option that fits seamlessly into an adult’s lifestyle. Each bracket is 3D-printed to match the shape of your teeth, ensuring maximum comfort, efficiency, and precision.
It’s never too late to straighten your teeth. Many adults seek orthodontic treatment to correct problems like crowding, gaps, and bite misalignments that were never addressed in their youth or have developed over time. Straightening your teeth not only improves your appearance but also contributes to better oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental problems.
Braces can also help relieve issues related to bite alignment, such as jaw pain, uneven tooth wear, and difficulties with chewing or speaking. By choosing orthodontic treatment, you’re investing in a healthier, more functional smile.
why choose braces for adults?
LightForce Braces are specifically designed to cater to the needs of adults seeking orthodontic care. Unlike traditional braces, which use standard brackets, LightForce Braces use advanced 3D printing technology to create brackets that are fully customized to your teeth. This level of customization allows for a more precise fit, reducing the overall treatment time and number of office visits needed. The ceramic brackets are also more discreet than traditional braces, helping you feel confident throughout your treatment.

Braces FAQ
You may experience mild discomfort after getting your braces or following adjustments. This usually subsides within a few days.
While wearing braces, it’s important to avoid foods that can damage brackets and wires. Hard foods like nuts, ice, and hard candies can break brackets or bend wires. Sticky foods, such as chewing gum, caramel, and gummy candies, can get stuck in your braces, making them hard to clean and increasing the risk of cavities. Sugary foods and drinks, like soda and candy, should also be minimized as they can lead to tooth decay. Opt for softer options like yogurt, pasta, and steamed vegetables to protect your braces and maintain good oral hygiene.
Caring for your braces involves consistent oral hygiene and attention to detail. Brush your teeth after every meal with a soft-bristle toothbrush, making sure to clean around each bracket and along the gum line. Floss daily using orthodontic flossers or a water flosser to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth and braces. Avoid using whitening toothpaste, as it can create uneven coloring after the braces are removed. Regular dental check-ups and following all instructions from Dr. Gostovich will ensure your treatment progresses smoothly. If you experience any issues, such as loose wires or broken brackets, contact our office promptly.
The cost of braces varies depending on the complexity of your case. At TG Orthodontics, we offer various payment plans and will help you understand your insurance coverage.
