LASERS / RADIOSURGICAL
Orthotown Editorial Director Dr. Dan Grob says:
Once not even common in general
dentistry, lasers are making higherquality care more commonplace in
the orthodontic setting. With uses like
cleaning up gingival tissue during,
after and even before treatment,
and removing excess tissue
for cosmetic contouring of
the smile arc, many types of
lasers have found their way
into orthodontic clinics. The
machines are user-friendly
and have streamlined

appearances
of Townies surveyed
and settings and
believe lasers will be
commonplace in the
instructions that take
practice by 2025.
fear out of the treatment
equation. The emphasis
on airway and muscle function is also
encouraging frenum removal, leading to
better tongue position and swallowing
patterns. Sleep apnea and breathing
should be improved! To elevate your
practice game, you may wish to investigate
all that lasers can do in an orthodontic
practice.

Townies are saying ...
"I have Zap lasers-wireless
and wired, in separate offices. The
use of lasers in our office shortens
treatment times by uncovering
teeth that are stubborn and will
take many months to erupt on their
own pace. In addition, we can save
our patients from paying additional fees
to other providers to uncover some of
the palatally impacted teeth that we can
expose using our laser. Parents appreciate
this when it works well."

"I use AMD Lasers' Picasso for
reduction of hyperplastic tissue to
prevent white marks around the gingival
third of my ortho patients and to expose
partially impacted cuspids for bonding.

SEPTEMBER 2017 // orthotown.com

In my 48 years as an orthodontist, I've
always had a focus on dental health, and
what an opportunity orthodontists have
to help patients develop lifetime oral
hygiene habits! When gingival tissues
become inflamed and swollen during
care, my team will do all it can with the
usual tools to restore gingival health.
With a laser, I now have another choice
for a patient whose result and great
smile may be marred by white marks.
Tissue can be recontoured by us in the
office rather than at the periodontist.
When I do it, my families appreciate the
service, and oral hygiene goes to a new
level and stays there. The same goes for
impacted cuspids as they are guided into
occlusion-better tissue management."
