Abstract
Ever since the development of lasers in the 1960s and subsequent introduction to the medical and dental field, it has become a must-have armamentarium in the orthodontic and dental office. Lasers offer a wide range of applications in orthodontic practice with the advantage of safety, convenience, reduced postoperative pain & discomfort. Lasers have applications in soft tissue management, hard tissue management as well as in the manufacturing process of various orthodontic appliances.
