Laser technology is rapidly transforming the field of orthodontics, offering innovative solutions that improve treatment precision, reduce discomfort, and accelerate healing. This webinar will explore the integration of lasers into orthodontics practice, covering the various clinical applications and, the science behind their effectiveness.
Participants will discover how diode, erbium, and other laser types are being used to improve procedural accuracy and reduce healing times, ultimately enhancing both patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. Key topics will include the biological basis for laser-tissue interactions and how specific wavelengths are selected for different orthodontic interventions.
With a focus on clinical efficiency and, patient outcomes. This webinar will provide an in-depth exploration of how lasers are reshaping orthodontic treatments, focusing on clinical applications such as gingival recontouring, exposure of impacted teeth, accelerating tooth movement, bonding and debonding of brackets, pain management.
This session is ideal for orthodontists and dental professionals interested in adopting laser technology to optimize their treatment outcomes and stay ahead of the curve in orthodontic care.
Join us to learn how lasers can elevate the standard of care in orthodontics, offering more comfortable and efficient treatment options for your patients.
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Use lasers for precise and minimally invasive soft tissue procedures, such as gingivectomy, frenectomy, and exposure of impacted teeth, reducing bleeding and promoting faster healing
- Use laser therapy to enhance the rate of orthodontic tooth movement by stimulating cellular activity in the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone
- Reduce pain and discomfort associated with orthodontic adjustments and appliance wear with laser application
- Reduce treatment time and enhance overall treatment efficiency by minimizing the need for mechanical interventions and reducing chairside time with laser use
