🦷Thinking About Braces or Clear Aligners? Don't Forget Your Gums!

Teeth movement with braces or clear aligners can sometimes contribute to gum recession-especially when there isn't enough protective gum tissue around the teeth.

Healthy, thick gum tissue can provide a protective zone as teeth are moved into their ideal position. That's why evaluating your gum tissue before orthodontic treatment can be an important part of protecting your long-term oral health.

A beautiful smile starts with heathy, well-supported gums. 🦷✨

This is an incredible 6-month before and after of a front tooth after using the LANAP laser. Outlined in the orange, you can see the prior bone levels vs. the current bone levels.

LANAP is a laser therapy procedure that is changing the perception of what is possible. Similar to Lasik using lasers for eye corrections, LANAP offers a minimally invasive approach that favors new bone and gum growth.

It's been our pleasure collaborating with Acuña & Acuña Dentistry on this case.
