Summary

Several methods aiming at the acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement have been proposed, including low-level laser therapy (LLLT), which showed promising results. However, the frequency of patient recall has been one of its major drawbacks.

Conditions

  • Malocclusion

Interventions

OTHER

low-level laser therapy applied on days 0, 3,7,14 & every 2 weeks

one side of the maxillary arch will randomly receive LLLT on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and every 2 weeks thereafter and the contralateral side will serve as the controls.

OTHER

low-level laser therapy applied every 3 weeks

one side will also be randomly chosen to receive LLLT every 3 weeks and the contralateral side will serve as the controls.
