Effect of Intra-Oral Photobiomodulation on Orthodontic Treatment Time: A Randomized Control Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Fixed Orthodontic Appliance Treatment, OrthoPulse™, and 1 other intervention for Malocclusion. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of OrthoPulse™, an intra-oral LED (Light Emitting Diode) photobiomodulation device, on orthodontic treatment time. This is a double-blinded RCT with half the patients receiving treatment from a sham non-functional device, serving as controls, and the other half receiving light therapy treatment from a functional OrthoPulse™. Orthodontic treatment time for the sham-control patients are compared to that of the OrthoPulse™ patients.

Timeline
Interventions
Patients are treated for full mouth fixed orthodontic appliance treatment by the qualified Principal Investigator (PI). Treatment and follow-up appointments per the traditional practices of the PI and dental office.
Patients carry out daily OrthoPulse™ treatments at home.
Patients carry out daily sham-OrthoPulse™ treatments at home. This is a non-functional device so patients do not receive photobiomodulation therapy.
