At Oberley Orthodontics, we believe comprehensive orthodontic care means looking at more than just straight teeth. In some cases, a frenectomy or Orthodontic laser may be recommended as part of a patient's orthodontic treatment plan to address the soft tissue attachments that connect the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gums. Using advanced laser technology, our team can provide precise, efficient care when a frenectomy is indicated for orthodontic treatment.

Why would a Frenectomy be recommended?

A frenectomy may be recommended when a frenum is contributing to orthodontic concerns or affecting the stability and function of the teeth and surrounding tissues. During your orthodontic evaluation, we will carefully assess your unique needs and determine whether a frenectomy may be beneficial as part of your personalized treatment plan.

This may include:

• Certain spacing concerns

• A prominent frenum attachment

• Orthodontic treatment planning

• Supporting orthodontic stability in select cases

• Soft tissue concerns affecting oral function or development

At Oberley Orthodontics, we use advanced laser technology to provide precise, thoughtful care when a frenectomy is recommended. Every treatment plan is personalized to the patient's unique orthodontic needs, and our team will take the time to explain the procedure, why it may be recommended, and how it fits into your overall orthodontic treatment journey.
