Diode laser treatment may be beneficial for patients receiving orthodontic care.
Ideal Bracket Placement
If your gums haven’t receded sufficiently, or a tooth is emerging more slowly than expected, a laser can be used to remove excess tissue and reveal enough tooth surface to place a bracket.
Impacted Teeth
Impactions refer to teeth that are blocked or not erupting through the gum tissue. By using laser treatment, we can avoid a surgical referral or having to wait months for the tooth to erupt.
Aesthetic Gingival Recontouring
Following the removal of your braces, we may recommend recontouring your gum line to maximize the aesthetics of your smile. Aesthetic gingival recontouring is a procedure to reshape the gum line to improve the aesthetics of your smile by exposing more of your teeth.
