ContinueOptimal orofacial function in adult patients can be achieved through the extensive functional release of restrictive oral tissues. The functional release is accomplished through a) the SuperPulse CO2 laser frenectomy...
ContinueIn order to rebuild the necessary orofacial function in adult patients, a Tongue-Tie Functional Release includes the mandatory pre- and post- frenectomy myofunctional therapy and the CO2 laser frenectomy...
ContinueProper orofacial function in patients can be restored through an extensive functional release of restrictive lingual frenum. The functional release is achieved through the SuperPulse CO2 laser frenectomy accompanied by the tongue mobility assessment; and mandatory OMT.
ContinueThe CO2 laser is the best suited soft-tissue surgical laser for the frenectomy procedure because, both cutting and hemostasis is achieved photo-thermally (radiantly). We answer some of the most commonly asked questions about laser frenectomies with the LightScalpel surgical / dental laser.
