Great Florida Smiles & Orthodontics Now Offering MLS Laser Therapy

Great Florida Smiles & Orthodontics recently added MLS Laser Therapy to its practice, growing its reputation as a leader in dental technology in our community. MLS, or Multi-wave Lock System, is a technology that uses a patented combination of wavelengths to either relieve pain or promote accelerated healing. And the best part, MLS Laser Therapy can be used on patients during routine dental procedures to reduce pain. 
 
In the dental industry, the MLS Laser can be used in conjunction with almost any dental procedure as it promotes healing and reduced inflammation, sensitivity, and soreness. The laser dilates the vessels which improves vascular activity, increased metabolic activity and accelerates the tissue repair along with cell growth. Due to these results, this technology is now being used on orthodontic patients where treatment is accelerated by 30%.
 
The staff and dentists at Great Florida Smiles & Orthodontics are highly trained in using a trigger point guide to effectively stimulate pain points for quick and effective ease of pain, especially for acute pain in TMJ patients.

Since the laser offers an anti-inflammatory effect on wounds, patients can experience faster wound healing without the use of any medications for pain or inflammation. Favorable feedback from patients has already been noted since patients are able to go back to work post procedures since they are not under the influence of narcotics. 
 
Dr. Mike O’Donnell is proud to be at the forefront of technology with the MLS Laser and is one of the only dental practices with this type of in-house laser technology in our area.               

“It’s amazing the capacity this laser has to reduce inflammation while promoting pain management and healing. We can target any pain or postoperative discomfort and use the laser to heal any inflamed tissue or surgical site. It is also an excellent addition to treatment plans for TMD patients and patients that suffer from shoulder, neck and head pain,” says Dr. O'Donnell
