Lasers have several potential applications in dentistry and can greatly reduce the time required for your orthodontic treatment. Depending on the specific condition you need treated, your orthodontist may decide to use lasers in orthodontics for a variety of circumstances. There are many reasons an orthodontist may choose to use laser treatment; talking with them about treatment options should help alleviate any concerns you have. In general, an orthodontist may choose to use such treatment to make the patient feel more comfortable when removing structures affecting the teeth and gums as well as getting rid of swollen tissue.

Most people think that it’s bad enough that they or their kids have to get braces. The parents are bracing for the cost, and the kids aren’t keen on having to wear them. Then, the happy family gets told that the patient needs to have teeth removed, too. So, why is it that removing teeth for braces (this is called extraction) is sometimes necessary for braces to be successful?
Reasons Why Tooth Extraction for Braces Might be Necessary
1. To reduce or eliminate problems associated with crowding.
Crowded teeth don’t always mean extractions are necessary, but they are one of the situations that can call for teeth to be removed. If the teeth are severely crowded, there are both cosmetic and practical consequences to avoiding extraction. The main cosmetic concern is that the teeth may jut forward, away from the jaw, because of lack of room.
