Summary of Benefits
As orthodontic professionals it is incumbent on us to continually strive to provide the finest treatment for our patients.
The simple diode laser procedures mentioned in this article
highlight some of the significant improvements in patient care
that now can be so easily accomplished. These benefits specifically include:
• Tremendous improvement in treatment aesthetics
• Procedures can be accomplished without injections, with
little if any pain, discomfort or bleeding
• Cost-effective procedures for both the patient and
the practice
• Significant reduction in treatment time
• Allows you to increase your practice’s high-tech image
I strongly recommend that all orthodontic professionals
consider a diode laser for their practices in order to dramatically
improve the quality of their patient care. ■
