Dr Mark Wertheimer provides a full range of  Orthodontic and DentoFacial Orthopaedic treatment.  

With advances in science, the BIOLASE EPIC diode laser has provided many benefits in orthodontics for patients and doctor.  This laser provides precision, a brilliantly minimally invasive form of cutting soft tissue associated with patients in braces such as gingivectomy for bracket placement; esthetic gingival recontouring; frenectomy; fibrotomy; and operculectomy.  The laser technology is also a great tool used to expose a palatally soft tissue-impacted tooth to facilitate eruption.

The EPIC diode laser's functions also include low-level pain therapy and biostimulation to relieve pain from teeth movement, and also assist in moving teeth faster.

Overall Benefits of Lasers in Orthodontics:

• Temporary relief of minor pain (from tooth movement)
• Exposure of Unerupted Teeth for Bracket Placement 
• Reduction of Gingival Hypertrophy Associated with Brackets
