The science behind OraLux™
Your receding gums are just the effect of something deeper/more hidden...
[01] Why this is happening
Your gums aren't rotting. They're sagging.
Your gums are built on collagen . the same scaffold that holds up the skin on your face. After about fifty. collagen production drops sharply . The scaffold weakens. the tissue loses its grip. and it slides down .
Long teeth. Dark triangles. Bleeding. Deeper pockets. Those aren't five problems. they're one collapse at five different stages.
This collapse has a name. It's called OCC - Oral Collagen Collapse.
Sagging collagen is not a dead end . Dermatology has been firming it for twenty years. It simply never got applied to the mouth.
[02] How it works
Red calms it & infrared helps rebuild it. Miss either one. and nothing happens.
630nm · Red light
Calms inflammation that destroys new collagen before it can take hold.
850nm · Near-infrared
Reaches deeper . signalling the dormant cells that build collagen back to work.
The field is called photobiomodulation . It has fifty years of research behind it and twenty years of routine use in dermatology. What's new here isn't the science. it's that someone finally pointed it at your gums .
[03] What people actually tell us
She stopped mid-cleaning and asked me: 'What have you been doing differently?'
This is the story we hear most often. and it arrives almost word for word. Someone starts using OraLux™. says nothing to anyone. and goes to their next cleaning. The hygienist starts calling out the numbers. and the numbers are smaller . Then she stops.
Nobody plans it. It's just the first time somebody else confirms what you'd started to suspect in the mirror.
Nine teeth measuring 4s. After two months on OraLux™. every 4 became a 3. My hygienist stopped mid-cleaning and asked what I'd been doing differently.
