Light therapy study for braces alignment in adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies whether Orthopulse light therapy (a form of light treatment) can help during orthodontic treatment with fixed braces. It’s for adults who need braces for crowded front lower teeth, and it will compare outcomes during the alignment phase.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Need orthodontic treatment using fixed braces (not removable braces)
- Have permanent adult teeth and front lower teeth crowding of about 4–10 mm
- Have Class I, II, or III bite alignment (not an “anterior crossbite”)
- Not be pregnant and not planning pregnancy during the study

This trial tests a personalized program to keep your mouth healthy and prevent problems while you wear braces. It aims to help you maintain good oral hygiene and avoid issues like decay and gum problems during treatment.
This trial tests whether a technique called tiny “micro-punctures” in the jaw bone can speed up orthodontic tooth movement in people with moderate front-lower tooth crowding. It uses clear aligners and may help teeth move faster, but only if you meet the dental and medical safety requirements.
This study tests whether using your own blood concentrate (PRP) and a special red light treatment can speed up tooth movement with clear aligners. If you're a young adult starting clear aligner therapy, this might reduce your treatment time.
This study compares two ways to help your upper canine teeth move faster into place after premolar extractions: tiny holes in the bone or special light therapy. It aims to shorten your braces treatment time.
This trial tests SureSmile clear aligners to see how accurately they fix common bite problems like crowding, spacing, and overbite. You may be able to join if you need mild to moderate orthodontic treatment.
This trial compares two treatments to see if they can safely speed up a specific tooth movement during braces. It tests a low-level laser or a minor surgical procedure called Piezocision against standard care.
