After some more web searching, we have found more information on how the Fiberotomy procedure works, as well as many videos of it being done. Hope these help!
Here is a video link, though be warned it is not for the faint of heart:

Also, this channel has many good videos. We also recommend reading through the comments on any videos you watch, there might be some good insights.

The fact that there is a very small amount of information available online shows that the procedure is still in its developmental stage. We think that because it is so new, if your orthodontist suggests you get it done, it is our opinion that you hold off until there is more information on the procedure. There is next to no information on the long term effects of this surgery. Neither of us has gotten this done, none of our friends have gotten it done, and neither of our parents got it done. Yet all of us still have straight teeth. This proves the validity of wearing a retainer.
