Detailed Summary
The present study will be performed to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement through the correction of lower incisors crowding using clear aligners
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
This intervention involves the application of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) using the Epic X device for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. The protocol is designed to assess the effects of LLLT on pain reduction and treatment efficacy during the initial leveling and alignment phase of orthodontic therapy using clear aligners .
Clear aligner therapy involves using a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. These aligners are worn over the teeth and are typically changed every week as the teeth gradually shift. The treatment process starts with a digital scan or impression of the teeth, which is used to create a 3D model. This model helps in planning the precise movements needed to achieve proper alignment. Throughout the treatment, patients visit their orthodontist periodically to monitor progress and receive new sets of aligners. Clear aligners are popular for their aesthetic appeal and the convenience they offer compared to traditional braces.
