dental aligners worn during the day and at night
"Leichte Kräfte, weiche und harte transparente Kunststoffe ermöglichen ein optimales Behandlungsergebnis".
Could this be light-weight or is it more likely that they are referring to the "force" that the aligners exert on the teeth to straighten them? Not sure how to say it if it refers to the stregth of the device, which is what i'm leaning towards. Any ideas?

gentle force
I would be fairly confident that this refers to the gentle force exerted by the device to shift teeth.
A few examples:
"How is treatment accomplished?
"Custom-made appliances, or braces, are prescribed and designed according to the problem being treated. They may be removable or fixed (cemented and/or bonded to the teeth). They may be made of metal, ceramic or plastic. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces can slowly move teeth through their supporting bone to a new desirable position."

"Braces use constant gentle force to gradually move teeth into their proper positions."

"It facilitates fast tooth movement, is easy to engage even on the hardest-to-ligate bracket, and exerts a continuous, gentle force over a long period of time."
