Because the light from a diode laser isn’t absorbed well by hard tissue, it’s excellent for procedures involving the soft tissues in your mouth like your gums, as it gives us maximum precision and won’t damage the teeth.
There are many applications for pediatric soft tissue laser procedures in oral surgery, oral pathology, periodontology and orthodontics — including frenectomies, frenotomies, operculectomies, gingivectomies, and treatment of aphthous and herpetic lesions.
An impacted tooth simply means that it is “stuck” and cannot erupt into function.
Lasers are widely used in Orthodontics for aesthetic gingival recontouring, soft tissue crown lengthening, exposure of soft-tissue over the impacted teeth, removal of inflamed and hypertrophic tissue, frenectomy in case of highly attached frenum causing hindrance to tooth movement in diastema cases, tissue removal at the site for mini screw and Low Level Laser Therapy for reduction in pain experienced during the orthodontic therapy.
