LightForce Orthodontics

LightForce Orthodontics is a Burlington, Massachusetts medical device manufacturer that produces 3D-printed, patient-specific orthodontic brackets marketed as "generative braces". Its LightBracket, LightTray indirect-bonding and LightTray Turbo products are generated from each patient's digital orthodontic treatment plan and printed in the United States, giving orthodontists micron-level control across six dimensions and letting them preview the projected outcome before treatment begins. LightForce sells to orthodontic practices rather than to developers: doctors work through a Doctor Portal and a hosted knowledge base, and the company publishes no public developer portal, API reference, SDKs or machine-readable API specification. The only publicly reachable programmable surface is its Auth0-hosted identity tenant at id.lightforceortho.com, which serves standard OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 authorization-server discovery documents. Backed by Kleiner Perkins.

LightForce Orthodontics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Healthcare, Orthodontics, Medical Devices, and Dental.

LightForce Orthodontics’ developer surface includes developer portal, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 10 more developer resources.
