LightForce is the world's first fully customised 3D-printed bracket system, and Gullotta Orthodontics is a Gold Coast provider. Unlike standard braces, which come in generic shapes and are adjusted to fit, LightForce brackets are digitally designed and printed for each individual tooth.

This means the bracket sits perfectly on your tooth from day one, forces are delivered more accurately, and treatment is often more efficient. It's the most advanced fixed appliance system currently available, and it's one of the reasons Dr Gullotta invested in it , precision matters when you're moving teeth.

Absolutely not. A significant proportion of our patients are adults, and many are surprised to learn that teeth can be moved safely and effectively at any age, provided the gums and supporting bone are healthy. Age is not a barrier to treatment, the health of your teeth and gums is what matters most.

LightForce brackets are lower-profile and more precisely fitted than traditional braces, since each one is custom-made for your tooth shape. Your treatment coordinator can talk you through what to expect for your specific case.

No referral is needed. You're welcome to contact us directly to book a consultation. While many of our patients come to us via their general dentist, you can self-refer at any time.

If you do have a recent referral letter from your dentist, it's helpful to bring it along, but it's not a requirement.

Your initial consultation is a thorough, unhurried assessment with Dr Gullotta personally. We'll take clinical photos, review any existing X-rays, and carry out a full examination of your teeth, bite and jaw.

At the end of the appointment, Dr Gullotta will walk you through his findings, explain the treatment options suited to your case, give you an estimate of treatment duration, and provide a personalised fee quote.

Treatment fees vary depending on the complexity of your case, the type of treatment, and the estimated duration. As a guide, most comprehensive orthodontic treatments range from approximately $9,500 to $12,000.

We provide a personalised, itemised fee quote at your consultation so you know exactly what's involved before making any decisions. There are no hidden costs, the fee we quote covers the full course of treatment, including all adjustments and your retainers at the end.

Most orthodontic cases are completed within 12 to 24 months, though some more straightforward cases can be shorter and more complex situations may take longer. The duration depends on the amount of tooth movement required, and how well the teeth respond.

One of the advantages of LightForce custom brackets is that because each bracket is designed specifically for your tooth, treatment can often be more efficient than with traditional braces. Dr Gullotta will give you a realistic treatment estimate at your consultation based on your individual situation.

We know your time is limited. Treatment length varies by case, and appointments are scheduled every 2-3 months. Remote monitoring can also help reduce how often you need to come in, so we can keep an eye on your progress between visits without pulling you away from work or your day.
