in the treatment of TMJ and Craniofacial Disorders
Laser Therapy
Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser Therapy decisively accelerates relief of pain and inflammation symptoms caused by Temporomandibular Disorders. This technique exceeds the limits of physical therapy and traditional laser therapy guaranteeing short treatment times effective from the first session and long-lasting results. The MLS Laser combines and synchronizes continuous and pulsating emissions of two different wavelengths of laser energy. In doing so the laser beam is focused on the treatment area ONLY so there is NO scatter of the laser beam as with use of other Laser systems. As a therapeutic laser NOT a cutting laser there is NO heat generated on the treatment area.
The use of the two paired wavelengths uniquely allows the laser energy to reach deep into jaw muscle and jaw joint tissues to create a more powerful therapeutic effect to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain while speeding up the healing process in these tissues at the same time. The laser energy works at the cellular level of tissues to incite the body to heal itself. The efficiency and safety of the MLS Laser for effective use in TMJ disorders has been proven scientifically in laboratory studies.
Specific protocols in terms of the length of treatment time per session, the intensity and amount of energy used and the number of sessions needed are based on the TMJ disorder treated. Our protocol incorporating the use of the MLS Laser with other accepted modalities for the treatment of TMJ and Craniofacial disorders has elevated the quality of care provided to patients.
