Many orthodontists today use soft tissue lasers to increase the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment and make treatment easier. The laser was first used in dentistry in 1964, and since then, continuous advances in laser technology have made it one of the most effective and best devices for soft and hard tissue treatments. Lasers can have applications in orthodontics. Many of the types of dental lasers currently available can also be used for hard and soft tooth tissue applications in dental orthodontics. To achieve the desired effects on the target tissue, knowledge of laser features such as power, wavelength and timing is essential. Laser therapy can be beneficial.

The laser used in orthodontics is a special type of pigmented or colored tissues. Orthodontic laser is a soft tissue diode laser used for gingival surgery. The laser simultaneously removes excess tissue with incredible precision, stops bleeding, and disinfects the surgical site. Because the laser is high in concentration, it does not damage adjacent tissues, so inflammation does not occur and the wound heals quickly. In addition, laser surgery is almost painless. Laser speeds up orthodontic treatment and gives more beautiful results.

Use of laser in orthodontic treatment

Lasers can be used for orthodontic treatment in many common applications, including accelerating tooth movement in bone and preparing enamel before banding, banding in ceramic brackets and reducing post-orthodontic pain, and preventing enamel decay. Also, soft tissue applications between the gums and the length of the crown can be obtained using dental lasers.

Pain relief using orthodontic laser

After the initial use of orthodontics, the patient feels pain or discomfort for a limited time. Low power lasers can be used as an analgesic treatment for orthodontic patients. Many researchers have reported that the use of lasers has analgesic effects to reduce the pain of orthodontic treatment.

Benefits of Laser Therapy in Dentistry

Shorter recovery time: Wiring teeth sometimes causes mouth sores. These wounds are painful. With a laser, this area can be anesthetized and the healing process can be accelerated.

Accurate positioning: The laser is used to shorten the muscle connections between the lips and gums, the phrenum. An enlarged or elongated phrenum can cause teeth to become disordered. The laser is so accurate that it does not cause the slightest damage to the surrounding tissues during phrenic surgery.

Gum Shaping: Gum surgery makes the front teeth more beautiful. The surface of the gums sometimes looks uneven after the teeth are arranged. Using a laser, you can even out the height of the gums to create a more beautiful smile.

Tissue removal: Sometimes the gum tissue covers the teeth. In order to move the teeth, the bracket must be attached to the teeth; To attach the bracket, the extra gum tissue must first be removed. The dentist can use laser to remove excess tissue quickly and easily.

Improved access: The formation of excess tissue is sometimes the result of poor oral hygiene, in addition, if the teeth are wired, scaling becomes difficult. Excess tissue grows on the surface of the tooth, making scaling more difficult. The dentist can use a laser to remove swollen gums to improve access to the enamel.

Pain control: Laser therapy is often used because of its analgesic effect. The laser beam stabilizes the nerve membrane and reduces pain transmission. The laser can be used on most deciduous teeth and for small restorations of permanent teeth.

Dental lasers provide comfort and accuracy during soft tissue incisions. They minimize soft tissue damage, control bleeding, and can also reduce postoperative pain.

When the orthodontist feels the need to remove the soft tissue between the mandibular and maxillary teeth in some cases to close the gap (diastem), this surgery is much easier with the help of laser. A razor is much more difficult than a laser. Laser surgery is painless and bleeding-free and is performed faster and does not require stitches. In addition, gum repair is much faster than razor surgery.
