• Orthodontic Fibroma Lesion Removal - Surgery Alternative
  Orthodontic braces sometimes can cause the growth of Friboma. Left untreated they can become unmanageable.

Traditional surgery involving the use of scalpels and suturing was avoided. Pain and discomfort were a non-issue for the patient. Listen for her reaction at the completion of treatment.

• Orthodontic Cuspid Uncovering - Non Surgical Laser Alternative
  Orthodontic treatment frequently requires specialized procedures to "pull down" one or more tooth structures. In this treatment example, an impacted cuspid is treated via laser treatments to expose the tooth structure that will enable the mounting of an ortho bracket to begin the process. Non surgical lasing eliminated the need for invasive tissue surgery and suturing. Provided by Dr. James Sanderson of Birmingham Alabama.
