Katherine Koncelik asked:
"Why is laser preferred for PTT ?  Is it to make it more difficult
for the tissue to heal (making harder for the posterior tie to
grow back )"

Kathy there is a lot a useful information about the treatment of tongue
ties in this article:

In particular it notes that  lasers are bacteriocidal, usually bloodless;
do not require placement of sutures, are fast and safe for infants, and
eliminates need for anesthesia.
