Burlington-based LightForce Orthodontics built a digital platform to provide orthodontists with a customized 3D-printed braces system. The company recently secured an $80 million Series D round of funding led by Ally Bridge Group. This investment will help expand Lightforce's manufacturing capabilities to further its orthodontic treatments using AI and 3D printing.
LightForce’s software incorporates artificial intelligence for generating accurate digital representations of patient anatomy and optimal teeth positions for clinical efficiency and aesthetics.
This new funding will enable LightForce to attract talent across engineering and science to advance its software and hardware offerings. Lightforce also plans to hire sales and manufacturing roles as it scales operations with a new 36,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Wilmington.
