MLS Laser Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive solution designed to reduce inflammation, ease jaw discomfort, and relieve facial pain associated with TMJ disorders. At Dreamwell Center, we offer this cutting-edge treatment for patients experiencing jaw stiffness, clicking, chronic discomfort, or muscle-related facial pain. This safe, drug-free therapy promotes faster healing, improved jaw function, and lasting relief.
What Is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy uses synchronized wavelengths of light to target inflammation, pain, and soft tissue dysfunction.
The dual wavelengths work together to:
- Reduce swelling and inflammation
- Improve blood circulation
- Promote cellular repair and tissue healing
- Relax tight muscles contributing to TMJ tension
Unlike medications or invasive procedures, MLS Laser Therapy is painless, safe, and requires no downtime. Patients often experience relief after just a few sessions.
How MLS Laser Therapy Works
During treatment, a clinician applies the MLS therapeutic laser to the jaw, TMJ region, and associated facial muscles:
- Targeted dual-wavelength light penetrates deep into the tissues.
- Cellular activity is stimulated, increasing oxygenation and promoting repair.
- Inflammation decreases, easing pressure on the TMJ.
- Muscles relax, reducing tension-related facial discomfort.
Each session lasts about 10–15 minutes and does not require anesthesia. Over a series of treatments, patients experience improved jaw mobility and a significant reduction in pain.
Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy
MLS Laser Therapy provides several advantages for patients with TMJ dysfunction or facial pain:
- Reduces jaw pain, muscle tenderness, and associated headaches
- Decreases inflammation and joint stiffness
- Improves jaw mobility and range of motion
- Non-invasive, painless, and medication-free
- No downtime or activity restrictions
- Helps prevent chronic flare-ups
- Supports long-term TMJ joint health
For many patients, MLS therapy offers relief that traditional methods alone cannot achieve.
Who Can Benefit from MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS Laser Therapy is ideal for adults experiencing:
- TMJ disorders (TMD)
- Chronic jaw pain or stiffness
- Facial muscle pain or tension
- Clicking or popping in the jaw
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
- Painful chewing
- Headaches or ear-area discomfort caused by muscle trigger points
It is also beneficial for patients seeking a non-surgical, drug-free option for managing chronic TMJ and facial pain.
Patients with severe joint degeneration or systemic inflammatory conditions may require additional evaluation for a comprehensive treatment plan.
What to Expect During a Session
The MLS Laser Therapy session is simple, comfortable, and quick:
- The patient is seated or reclined comfortably.
- A clinician applies the therapeutic laser to targeted jaw and facial muscles.
- The treatment is painless and typically takes 10–15 minutes.
- Patients may feel a gentle warmth as tissues respond to the laser energy.
- No post-treatment restrictions are needed.
Most patients benefit from 6–10 sessions, depending on severity. Improvements accumulate over time, with many experiencing relief within the first few appointments.
Safety and Considerations
MLS Laser Therapy is considered highly safe for adults when performed by trained professionals. It does not involve heat damage, cutting, needles, or medication.
Common experiences include:
- Mild warmth in treated areas
- Temporary muscle relaxation sensation
Patients with certain conditions, such as active infections, untreated jaw fractures, or photosensitivity disorders, should be evaluated before treatment. At Dreamwell Center, each patient undergoes a thorough assessment to ensure MLS Therapy is appropriate and effective.
