Helping to Eliminate Pain and Discomfort at the Orthodontist

One of the main reasons people avoid trips to the dentist or orthodontist is the fear of pain during appointments. Dr. Guneet Kohli understands and empathizes with that concern. Having experienced dental anxiety herself, she is now offering a game-changing solution for her patients: the Synapse Dental Pain Eraser! This innovative service is designed to provide relief and make orthodontic visits more comfortable, helping patients overcome their fear of discomfort.

How the Synapse Dental Pain Eraser Works

At Virtue Orthodontics, Dr. Guneet Kohli is committed to making your orthodontic experience as comfortable as possible, and the Synapse Dental Pain Eraser is a revolutionary device designed to eliminate discomfort during and after your appointments. This cutting-edge tool works so effectively that you won’t even need Advil at home afterward, and it’s remarkably simple to use!

During your orthodontic visit, Dr. Kohli will apply slow, gentle pressure using the device on the root surface of the affected area for about 20-30 seconds. This sends gentle electric pulses to soothe the nerves and block pain. The duration of the treatment varies depending on the specific needs of each patient.

The Benefits of the Synapse Dental Pain Eraser

  • Instant relief: The device takes just 20-30 seconds to relieve discomfort. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics found that 55% of patients experienced pain relief within one minute.
  • Long-lasting effects: A single use of the device can relieve pain for up to 48 hours, making it an ideal option for post-treatment discomfort.
  • Safe and effective: The FDA has approved the Synapse Dental Pain Eraser for both children and adults. Clinical studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing dental pain.
  • Simple to use: Not only can Dr. Kohli use this device during your appointment, but a take-home version is also available, allowing you to manage discomfort from the comfort of your home.
  • Cost-effective: The device’s administration is typically covered by insurance, but we recommend checking with your provider for details.
