Laser-assisted orthodontics - braces
Innovative techniques for treating dentomaxillary anomalies.
Benefits
- Comprehensive treatment plan and custom braces created by a multidisciplinary team
- Correct diagnosis
- Monitoring treatment progress
The techniques for treating dentomaxillary anomalies have evolved considerably in recent years. Both among children and adults, there are numerous patients who require orthodontic treatment. The goal is always the same: to align teeth, correct dental occlusion, and improve facial appearance.
It is already well-known that orthodontic treatment with a fixed brace is not a pleasant experience for the patient. The causes are pain, sensitivity, and tension that arise as a result of tooth migration, and of course, the duration of wear, which can be several years. Mucosal lesions are also a very common problem among those undergoing orthodontic treatment.
The Epic Laser from Biolase represents a tool that can help you manage specific orthodontic treatment situations due to its 940nm wavelength.
Surgical stage
- Exposure of submucosal impacted teeth
- Frenectomy
- Gingivectomy
These procedures can be performed very simply with the Epic diode laser from Biolase. There is no longer a need to send patients to a surgeon for these interventions. Any incision can be made quickly, without bleeding, with increased visibility. Additionally, you will not need sutures.
Biostimulant
One of the most important advantages of the laser in orthodontic treatment is Biostimulation. This helps to desensitize nerve endings and encourage biostimulation processes.
Here are 2 main benefits:
- Acceleration of tooth movement (shortening the duration of brace wear by more than 30%)
- Post-activation analgesia – through the desensitization of nerve endings, the patient no longer experiences the same pain.
The Epic diode laser can be purchased with a special handpiece that allows for biostimulation. The diode laser can also be used to accelerate the healing of oral ulcers, providing patients with immediate pain relief.
Albire
After finishing orthodontic treatment, most patients will want to have white teeth.
Laser teeth whitening is the best choice for patients who have undergone orthodontic treatment due to the reduced exposure time to peroxide action. It is well known that effects such as dentin sensitivity and enamel structure alteration are due to exposure time. The laser is a tool that allows us to considerably reduce this time (compared to any other technique used), without pathological implications for the pulp.
The laser is therefore an essential tool in modern orthodontics, with real advantages for both the user clinician and patients. A shorter treatment time is a real advantage for you, and your patients will share this experience with all their acquaintances.
Orthodontic gutters
ClearCorrect is an aligner system made by orthodontists, supported by artificial intelligence and robots. The treatment plan is created by specialist orthodontists.
Advantages of Fixed Appliances vs. Transparent Gutter
- The patient can easily clean their teeth by removing the retainer (brushing, flossing).
- Invisible and aesthetically pleasing (no one will notice the gutter's presence)
- There are no dietary restrictions (the aligner will be removed during meals and you can eat anything you want)
- The treatment plan is established in its entirety from the very beginning, with the help of technology, the scanner, computer, and advanced applications that calculate all necessary movements.
- The patient is in control – easy application and removal of aligners
- The forces applied to the teeth are light, in certain segments, eliminating major risks of incorrect force dosing and secondary effects of reciprocal movements.
- They are not permanently fixed to the teeth, so they do not affect the enamel, they are hygienic, and they considerably reduce the risk of cavities, lowering the risk of demineralization.
- Short session duration and fewer doctor's visits
- Shorter effective treatment duration compared to braces, being more accurate and efficient
- Combine the aesthetics of a thin, transparent material with the necessity of resistance to applied forces (pressure, tension).
- The patient has less control over the fixed appliance (the doctor has more control).
- The minimum forces are distributed across the entire arch, to all the teeth
- Applying braces during the same session, usually
- Extractions, fillings, and surgical procedures can be performed throughout the duration of the treatment.
- It does not interfere with speech
- The treatment can be modified, adjusted, and adapted as needed.
- They have broad applicability to a multitude of complex clinical cases.
- Lower cost
Disadvantages of Braces vs. Transparent Gutter
- The patient's serious commitment and attendance at check-ups for aligner changes are crucial for the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Waiting for the arrival of aligners from abroad (in the situation where the aligners are not made at the clinic)
- Any dental treatment performed during the course of treatment (e.g., extractions, fillings) may affect the fit of the splint.
- Loss or alteration of the gutter implies a prolonged treatment time, as it becomes necessary to design a new set of gutters.
- A 20-minute interval is needed before reapplication (after meals, after consuming carbonated drinks, and after brushing) to prevent food debris from getting trapped between teeth.
- The first few days after getting braces require adaptation and getting used to speaking, as it's something new.
- Depending on the complexity of the case, as part of individualized treatment, it may be necessary to apply braces before inserting aligners.
- Slightly increased cost compared to a fixed appliance
- Cleaning is difficult with wires and brackets.
- Requires special cleaning methods – a certain type of toothbrush (special, orthodontic, and interdental)
- Multiple dietary restrictions (contraindicated hard, crunchy, seeded foods, carbonated drinks)
- The presence of the appliance requires rigorous hygiene and periodic controls for professional cleaning (the patient being at high risk of cavities).
- Increased risk of white spots (demineralization) around brackets and cavities on the visible surface of teeth after removing braces.
- The metallic apparatus has maximum visibility
- Bracket detachment requires re-bonding, additional costs, and extended treatment time.
- Long duration of the treatment session for bonding brackets to each tooth individually
- Acid demineralization of enamel required for bracket bonding (can predispose to cavities around them and an unaesthetic appearance – white or brown color)
- Gingival enlargement – gingival hypertrophy, frequently encountered in wearers of fixed braces
Patient benefits:
- No dietary restrictions
- Hygiene is much easier and more effective (than with traditional braces)
- Simple and comfortable
- No phonation discomfort (adaptation in 2-3 days).
- Almost invisible
- Patients can wear them for 2-4 hours a day, which is very practical for people who speak in public, work in television, singers, comedians, etc.
- Very comfortable for patients who engage in physical and combat activities (martial arts, boxing, etc.)
- Practice for patients who use wind instruments (like flute or clarinet)
- Emergency visits are rarely needed
The diode laser (Biolase Epic X) is used for biostimulation – it encourages tooth movement, reduces pain after activations, and accelerates gum healing, making treatment faster and more comfortable.

- frenectomies
- gingivectomies
- biostimulate
