OHI-S Laser-Assisted Orthodontics Advancing Clinical Practice

5 lessons (4h 10min)
Upgrade your orthodontic knowledge with laser-assisted protocols for accelerated treatment and enhanced aesthetic outcomes of clinical cases!
Two of the most important factors in orthodontic treatment are treatment time efficiency and finishing protocols. With the right laser therapy techniques, you can achieve both!
During the course, you will learn in detail about the protocols and techniques of:
– Photobiomodulation application for accelerated tooth movement
– Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for exposure of impacted teeth
– Laser crown lengthening and gingival contouring in the finishing stage.
Join the course to gain comprehensive knowledge and proficiency in utilizing laser-assisted orthodontics to achieve optimal treatment outcomes and enhance patient satisfaction!
The OHI‑S Laser‑Assisted Orthodontics: Advancing Clinical Practice course is best for orthodontists, pediatric dentists, and general dentists with orthodontic focus who want structured, training in integrating laser technology into orthodontic workflows. It emphasizes evidence‑based protocols for enhancing efficiency, patient comfort, and clinical outcomes in orthodontic treatment.
